I LOVE a good no-bake cheesecake! You don't have to mess with eggs, the oven, or worrying about whether or not the top will crack. Just a yummy dessert with less fuss. Plus, it's lighter, creamier, and can be ready in much less time! Sign me up.

A few years ago, I decided to marry probably two of the best desserts: cheesecake and apple crisp. The results were delicious! Though, baking alone took over 30 minutes, plus there was prepping and assembly. Somedays, you just can't wait that long! This time I chose to stick with simplicity and create individual servings. You can assemble just before serving or make-ahead and store in the fridge. But be aware, with some gluten free graham crackers, they may become soft while sitting in the fridge. I say just be prepared to serve with a fork.

This cheesecake mixture also makes a wonderful dip!

Ingredients for Gluten Free Apple-Cinnamon No-Bake Cheesecake

• Powdered Sugar
• Vanilla

• Brown Sugar
• Gluten Free Graham Crackers

How to Sauté Apples

        1. Peel and dice the apples.

        2. Heat oil over medium heat.

        3. Sauté the apples for 4-5 minutes, until a fork can easily pierce.

        4. Season with cinnamon and brown sugar.

        5. Enjoy with whipped cream, whipped topping, ice cream, or cheesecake. Just like warm apple crisp, without the hassle.

Mistakes to Avoid with No-Bake Cheesecake

1. Be sure the filling has time to set. Since we're creating individual cheesecakes and piping the cream cheese mixture, this should not be an issue. You may need to refrigerate before or after piping, depending upon the consistency and when it's being served.
2. Cream cheese needs to be room temperature. Otherwise, you will have little lumps.
