    I'm an apple fall dessert person and these Apple Cheesecake Cookies are the only apple dessert you need this fall. Cinnamon graham cracker cookies, topped with cheesecake and apple pie jam. Ugh, they are heavenly. You can omit the cheesecake if need be, but I feel like it really balances them out.

    I’d love to hear how you like it, so please rate and/or comment below.

    Ingredients you'll need:

    • Butter
    • Apples
    • Lemon juice
    • Corn starch
    • Cinnamon
    • Nutmeg
    • Ground Cloves
    • Granulated sugar
    • Brown sugar
    • 1 egg
    • Vanilla extract
    • All Purpose flour
    • Graham Cracker crumbs
    • Salt
    • Baking soda
    • Baking powder
    • Cream cheese
    • Powdered sugar

    Equipment:

    • Stand or Hand mixer
    • Small pot
    • Baking sheets
    • Measuring cups and spoons
    • Peeler
    • Whisk
    • Bowls

    Instructions:

    Apple Pie Jam:

    Place the diced apples in a bowl, drizzle lemon juice over apples and stir.

    In a small pot, add water, sugars, corn starch and spices and bring to a boil.

    Lower the heat to simmer, add the apples, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the jam begins to thicken, about 10 minutes. Apples should be tender and cooked.

    Turn off heat, add the butter to the apple jam and stir to combine. Let cool while you make the cookies.

    Cookies:

    Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.

    In a stand mixer or using a hand mixer, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light, fluffy and creamy. Add in the egg and the vanilla and mix until incorporated.

    Add in the flour, graham cracker crumbs, salt, baking soda, baking powder and cinnamon, mix just until just combined.

    Using a cookie scooper, scoop out 8-12 (depending on size of cookies you'd like) equally sized cookie dough balls, roll them between the palm of your hands then roll them in the ⅓ cup of the sugar and cinnamon.

    Place the cookie dough on the prepared baking sheet, gently flatten with your hand, using the back of a measuring spoon place an indent into the the middle of the cookie so it looks like a pie crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Let the cookies cool down on the baking sheet for 10 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack.

    Cheesecake Topping:

    In a stand mixer mix the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth.

    Add in the powdered sugar and the vanilla and mix on high speed again until light and fluffy. This should take 2-3 minutes.

    Fill a piping bag with a large round tip with the cheesecake topping and frost each cookie. Top the cookies with a spoonful of apple pie jam. Enjoy!
