Ingredients
For the Crust
- 2 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 3 Tablespoons light brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 7 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For the Filling
- 1 package cream cheese, softened (8 ounce)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 container Cool Whip, thawed, divided (16 ounce)
- 2 cans apple pie filling (21 ounce each)
- ¼ cup Chopped Pecans
Instructions
- For the crust, combine graham cracker crumbs with brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press firmly in the bottom of a 13x9 baking dish. Freeze while you make the filling.
- For the filling, combine cream cheese with sugar, and vanilla. Beat until smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Fold in half of the Cool Whip (8 ounces) and spread this mixture over the frozen crust.
- Spoon apple pie filling over the cream cheese layer, arranging the apple slices evenly.
- Top with the remaining Cool Whip. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
- Before serving, sprinkle with chopped pecans (if desired). Serve cold.

Notes
- Be sure to use room temperature cream cheese. Do not use the variety in a tub, use the blocks of cream cheese!
- Try our homemade Cool Whip if you prefer over the store bought.
- Serve with a drizzle of caramel sauce if desired.
- For a sweeter crust, try swapping out the graham crackers for Golden Oreos or vanilla wafers.
- For clean slices, use a sharp knife and wipe between slices. Or freeze dessert for an hour before slicing.
- Storage: Keep apple delight covered and store in refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Freeze: Cover dessert with plastic wrap, then foil, and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in refrigerator overnight.
