Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham crackers (crushed)
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 0.75 cup Powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons Kahlua liqueur
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 medium Apples (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced)
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Salted butter
- 1 cup Whipped cream (for topping)
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg (for garnish)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch round pie dish or dessert pan. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to set.
In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
Add the Kahlua liqueur to the cream cheese mixture and mix until fully incorporated.
In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then fold the whipped cream gently into the cream cheese mixture to create a light filling.
Spread the Kahlua and cream filling evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust. Return to the refrigerator to chill while preparing the apples.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the salted butter. Add the sliced apples, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and caramelized, about 8-10 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and let the caramelized apples cool to room temperature.
Once the apples have cooled, arrange them on top of the prepared Kahlua and cream filling.
Just before serving, top the dessert with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of ground nutmeg for garnish.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
