Caramel Apple Icebox Cake

Caramel Apple Icebox Cake is a no-bake dessert masterpiece perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce plus extra for drizzling
  • 4 –5 medium apples peeled, cored, and chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg optional
  • 1 package graham crackers

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Whipped Cream Filling
  • In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with a hand or stand mixer until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped cream until fully combined.
  • Cook the Apples
  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, cook the chopped apples with 1/4 cup caramel sauce, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir occasionally until the apples soften slightly, about 5–7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  • Assemble the Icebox Cake
  • Spread a thin layer of whipped cream mixture on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Place a layer of graham crackers on top, breaking them as needed to fit.
  • Spread a layer of the whipped cream mixture over the graham crackers, followed by a layer of caramel-coated apples. Drizzle with additional caramel sauce.
  • Repeat layers (graham crackers, whipped cream, apples, caramel) until the dish is full, finishing with a whipped cream layer on top.
  • Chill the Cake
  • Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the graham crackers to soften and the flavors to meld.
  • Serve
  • Drizzle with extra caramel sauce before serving and garnish with additional apple slices or chopped nuts if desired.
