No Bake Pumpkin Apple Dessert Lush
This pumpkin and apple combo is just about as classic as it gets. They are the two most prominent fall ingredients.
This lush recipe has a few different layers of pumpkin, apple, and whipped cream that make this recipe the best. It is a no bake recipe which means that it is easy to prepare and great for a party.
Ingredients Needed
- Graham Cracker Crumbs: You can use crumbs or crush your own graham crackers. This is for the crust.
- Vanilla Pudding Mix: This must be instant pudding mix.
- Milk: Only cow’s milk will work.
- Pumpkin Puree: Not pumpkin pie mix.
- Pumpkin Pie Spice: This gives all the flavors of pumpkin.
- Apple Pie Filling: Use a can of pie filling or my homemade recipe.
- Cool Whip: Or freshly whipped cream
How to make Apple Pumpkin Dessert
- Place graham cracker crumbs in a large bowl and stir in brown sugar. Stir in melted butter with a fork, then press into the bottom of a 9×9 inch square pan. Chill until filling is ready.
- Wipe out the bowl you made the crust in. Place pudding mix, milk, pumpkin, and pumpkin pie spice in a the bowl. Whisk until smooth.
- Pour carefully over crust, spreading it evenly.
- Evenly spread apple pie filling over the pumpkin layer.
- Top evenly with whipped cream or Cool Whip. Crush remaining graham crackers into chunky pieces and sprinkle over the top.
- Chill dessert for at least 2 hours before serving. Store covered in refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Expert Tips
- You can use 1 cup graham cracker crumbs for the crust and then just sprinkle more crumbs on top instead of using actual graham crackers.
- For the milk, it has to be cow’s milk. But you can use any fat content.
- If you don’t want to use Cool Whip, use my Homemade Whipped Cream!

Underpants are my dear friend and I shall never abandon them to a life alone in the drawer. They belong on my bottom. Likewise a bra. I don’t care if you are uncomfortable. Just say no to saggy nipples!
That looks simply incredible!
Haha! I love yoga pants, but I definitely agree. They should never be see through, but I’ve definitely seen some people wearing a few sizes too small. It’s also still hot outside, so I’m loving this dessert. Plus apples and pumpkin are always a great idea!
I know, so hot this week! No bake is the way to go!
My yoga pants are black and thick, but I didn’t realize that some women were going commando in theirs, or that they are see-through! Yuck! I learn a lot, reading your blog! And I agree with you, like 98% of the time (don’t remember the other 2%).
When you bend over, that spandex spreads!! LOL
Oh my hahaha! I have really enjoyed this post, you are cracking me up! I think it is always nice to give a little PSA regarding appropriate undergarment procedures! Especially the whole “leggings are not pants” thing – sometimes that requires reminding too!
Yes, especially to my daughter!!
