Notes
1) I recommend lightly straining the applesauce to remove some of the extra water. You can do this in a colander, or with a cheesecloth. Just lightly strain it to remove some of the obvious extra juice — don’t totally squeeze it dry!
2) I bought the mini glass dishes for this from Pier One, although they are now widely available at many stores including Target, TJ Maxx, World Market and beyond.
YUM. what a great dessert for a dinner party! and LOVE that no baking is required! (it’s still 90 degrees in Texas!!) thanks for sharing!
These look absolutely fabulous. I’m adding them to my Thanksgiving menu for sure!
So pretty~
Yuuuummm. I can totally see myself taking these little tykes to a potluck holiday dinner sometime soon.
Beautiful! You had me at caramel apple which btw I’m completely bummed that I didn’t have a single real caramel apple this year.
Where did you get those little cups they are in?
These look awesome! Gorgeous photos too–as always!
These are STUNNING!!! And sound so delicious! But to be honest, I’m also seriously drooling over that caramel apple in the background :)
Ha – thank you! I’m all for edible props! ;)
i love little individual desserts like this – and you are the queen of them, esp lately Ali! These are gorgeous. Apples and cheesecake make a wonderful pair, esp when caramel is involved. Love the glasses, too. heading to pier one or target at the first chance – i want them!
Thanks, Sally! And you’ll love the little glass dishes — so fun and versatile! (Although, I admit they’re a tiny bit of a pain to wash — but, worth it.) ;)
I saw these and really thought about how you’re the queen on these types of desserts and saw that Sally had already said that. See. It’s true! These look absolutely incredible. And I love your glasses!
I love that crust so much, just hand me a spoon!
where did you find the clear glass serving dishes?
Oops! Sorry, forgot to include that Mary. I think that batch was from Pier 1, but you can find those mini glass dishes now all over the place! I’ve especially noticed cute sets at World Market, Target, and Marshalls/TJMaxx/HomeGoods. They’re apparently quite popular right now. ;)
Thanks a bunch!
I love any thing with apple and carmel but then………..I made them worst thing ever and im a profesinol cook.
Ali – you’re desserts just get better and better! These will be perfect for a dinner party I’m throwing next week.
Thanks so much, Ashley! Hope you enjoy them!!
I do love holiday baking season but it’s always good to have a couple of no-bake options up your sleeve too. Love these!
Oh my, Ali, these are absolutely heavenly! I bookmarked these for my Thanksgiving dessert menu!
I love no bake treats! These caramel apple cheesecakes sound divine, and even more perfect because they require no oven time!
I love your presentation for these!
Would I need to double up on ingredients in order to make it into a whole pie? I was thinking of bringing this to a family gathering, but cannot afford a ton of little glass dishes. Thanks!
This would make a perfect 9′ pie.
Oh my these look so good. Got to try them!!!
I am curious to find out what blog platform
you are using? I’m having some minor security issues with my latest site and I’d like to find something more secure.

Wow, this piece of writing is nice, my sister is analyzing these kinds of things, so I am going
to inform her.
This was such an easy dessert to make. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out just like the picture!
do these hold up well out of the cups? or do they need to be in a container? also how many does this make?
They do better in the cups, since they’re not super firm on their own.
I would love to make these. The recipe shows ingredients, but not the actual instructions on how to make them. Can you please post directions?
Sounds delicious, but there are no instructions — just a repeat of the ingredients list? I might try to figure it out for myself but it seems like someone would have noticed before now.
