The base of this dessert is a no-bake cheesecake made of only four ingredients: cream cheese, sugar, heavy whipping cream, and vanilla extract. The resulting cheesecake is classic and not overly sweet. This leaves plenty of room for the caramel apple topping!
I love the ease of using a store-bought graham cracker crust, but you could absolutely make your own using the crust recipe from my easy no-bake key lime pie.
The caramel apple topping on this cheesecake is also very simple and made from just four ingredients.
You will need apples, butter, cinnamon, and caramel. If you want to make your own caramel from scratch you absolutely can, but if you are keeping this simple like I did, then store-bought caramel will work just as well.
If you love an easy no-bake pie as much as me, here are some other flavor options I’ve shared in the past:

Oooh I need to make this!
Can’t wait to try this…. definitely putting it on my Autumn Bucket List ☺️
Thanks for including the links to other pies. Because, while this recipe sounds good, I’m feeling drawn to the Peanut Butter Pie, definitely. And I have an anniversary in a couple of weeks where the Chocolate Pie is looking really good. I’ll save the Pumpkin Pie for next month. So I’m feeling pretty good about my future (at least in terms of pie).
Happy early anniversary!
“I’m feeling pretty good about my future (at least in terms of pie).” ?. I love this. Totally made me laugh ?
