8 whole Graham Crackersbroken in half

¼ cup Plant-Based Buttermelted

2 tablespoons Coconut Sugar, or granulated sweetener of choice

½ tsp Apple Pie Spice - Primal Palate

Cheesecake Filling

8 ounces Vegan Cream Cheese, Plainsoftened

¼ cup Pure Maple Syrup

¼ cup Sunbutter, or peanut, almond, or cashew butter

3 tablespoons Pure Maple Syrup

2 tablespoons Plant-Based Buttermelted

1 tsp Vanilla Extract

1 pinch Sea Salt

½ cup PecansRoasted, chopped

½ cup Coconut Whipped Topping

In a small saucepan, combine diced apples, maple syrup, and apple pie spice. Turn heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until apples are just soft, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

In a food processor, combine graham crackers, melted butter, coconut sugar, and apple pie spice. Process on low until the graham crackers are crumb-sized and the mixture resembles wet sand. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and set aside. Give the food processor a good rinse.

In the food processor, combine softened cream cheese, maple syrup, and vanilla. Process on low until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

In a small bowl, combine SunButter, 3 tbsp maple syrup, melted butter, vanilla, and sea salt. Stir or whisk together until smooth and glossy. Taste and add another tablespoon of maple syrup if you'd like it sweeter.

To assemble, divide the graham cracker crust mixture into 4 small glass cups or jars. Press down lightly. Layer with the cheesecake filling, stewed apples (you can warm them back up if preferred), and chopped pecans. Top each parfait with a dollop of coconut whip and a generous drizzle of caramel. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Chill Vegan Cream Cheese Thoroughly 🧊
Refrigerate your vegan cream cheese for at least 2 hours before blending to ensure a smooth, creamy texture that won't separate or become grainy in the filling.
Toast Graham Crackers for Crunch 🥣
Lightly toast the crushed graham crackers in the oven at 300°F for 3-4 minutes before mixing with plant-based butter to enhance their flavor and prevent them from becoming soggy.
Macerate Apples with Sugar First 🍎
Toss sliced apples with coconut sugar and apple pie spice 15 minutes before cooking to draw out their natural juices, creating a more flavorful and concentrated stewed apple layer.
Layer While Still Warm 🥛
Assemble your parfaits with warm stewed apples and cooled cheesecake filling to create distinct, visually appealing layers without the fillings blending together.
Make Caramel Sauce Ahead 🍯
Prepare your nut butter caramel sauce 1-2 days in advance and store in an airtight container—it actually thickens and develops deeper flavor as it sits, making drizzling easier and taste richer.
