No-Bake Apple Yum Yum is an easy four layer dessert of graham crackers, apple pie filling, sweetened cream cheese and whipped topping!

AN EASY AND LUSCIOUS LAYERED DESSERT

This Apple Yum Yum not only super simple to make but I think it gets better the longer it sits in the fridge. So, it's perfect for making the night before you actually want to eat it!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

I don't have a 9-inch square baking dish, what else can I use?

You can use any square baking dish you have on hand. For example, if you have an 8-inch square pan, the dessert will just come out a little thicker. A 9x13-inch baking dish would be too large for this recipe unless you wanted to double the ingredients.

Can I use Cool Whip whipped topping instead of homemade whipped cream?

I always get this question. If I have a recipe that uses Cool Whip then folks want to make it homemade. And when I make it homemade folks want to use Cool Whip. I can't win, y'all! They are both very much interchangeable. Whatever you want, that is what you should go with here. They both work fine. Heck, if you really want to go all out then you can make your own apple pie filling too. Whatever floats your boat.

Can I use other pie fillings besides apple?

I know I'll get asked this question. You don't need my permission to make substitutions. If you want a different pie filling, then do it. Have fun with your food and experiment. I have a recipe for CHERRY YUM YUM on here if you want to check it out You are only limited by the types of pie fillings you can find at your grocery store. Peach and Blueberry are some of my other favorite flavors to use!

How do I store leftovers?

Leftovers should be kept covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This can also be frozen if stored properly in a freezer safe container for up to 3 months.

INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (FULL RECIPE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST)

cinnamon graham crackers
salted butter
cream cheese
sugar
heavy whipping cream
vanilla extract
apple pie filling

ingredients needed for no-bake apple yum yum dessert: cinnamon graham crackers, salted butter, cream cheese, sugar, heavy whipping cream, vanilla extract, apple pie filling.

HOW TO MAKE APPLE YUM YUM:

Start by crushing the graham crackers into crumbs. I put about 10 graham cracker sheets into a ziploc bag then pounded them with a heavy object (like a rolling pin or flat meat tenderizer.) You need enough to make 1 ½ cups in crumbs

In a medium bowl, combine melted butter with graham cracker crumbs.

Set aside 2 tbsp. of the crumbs (we'll use that for the topping.)

Spread the rest of the crumbs into a 9x9-inch baking dish. Push down with your hands to make a flat layer.

Next, combine softened cream cheese with ½ cup sugar. This is easiest if you use a stand mixer or a handheld electric mixer. Set this bowl aside.

In a separate bowl (to make the whipped cream), combine the heavy whipping cream, 3 tbsp. sugar and vanilla extract. Using a stand or electric mixer, whip it until stiff peaks form (using the whisk attachment.) You can skip this if you are using COOL WHIP. This will take a minute or two on a high speed setting.

Combine the cream cheese mixture with the whipped cream, by hand, until combined well.

Spread half of the cream cheese/whipped cream mixture evenly over crust.

Open can of apple pie filling. Take a knife and slice apples inside the can. Go back and forth in a slicing motion to create smaller chunks of apples (this will help with spreading the filling.)
