  • 2 cup Vegan Whipped Cream *see notes
  • 1 teaspoon Vegan Lactic Acid *see notes
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract 1 teaspoon
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon 1 teaspoon

optional garnish

Instructions
 

  • First prepare the apples by peeling & coring then slice to approx 1/4 - 1/8th inch thickness
  • Melt the vegan butter in a large skillet over high heat then add the slices apples. Let them cook down for about 5 minutes stirring frequently then add the brown sugar, flour & spices & stir well to combine
  • Stirring often, let the apples cook for about 5- 10 minutes, depending on the thickness
  • Add the brandy & the maple syrup & cook until they are tender but not mushy- total time about 15 minutes of cooking
  • Remove from the heat and cool completely
  • Prepare your choice of whipped cream you will need 2 full cups of fully whipped cream (not liquid) * see notes
  • Reserve the whipped cream in the refrigerator while you prepare the cream cheese mousse: In a large bowl with a spatula combine the vegan cream cheese, sifted confectioners sugar, vanilla extract & lactic acid (using an electric mixer usually softens the vegan cream cheese too much turning it into soup, so mixing by hand is preferable)
  • Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture & then get ready to assemble the dessert.
  • In the bottom of an ungreased- NO PARCHMENT PAPER- 9"x9" baking pan arrange the graham crackers
  • Layer with 1/3 of the mousse mixture & then top with half of the apples.
  • Layer with more graham crackers, another 1/3 of the mousse & the other half of the apples.
  • A final layer of graham crackers & the last of the cream cheese mousse.
  • I sprinkled the entire top with the optional toffee recipe but this is optional as is the caramel for a drizzle on top
  • Refrigerate for 3-4 hours before serving, but the lasagna actually gets better the next day just like a traditional lasagna!

Notes

Vegan Lactic Acid is what gives cream cheese desserts their signature tang. If you do not have it or do not want to buy it you can use apple cider vinegar instead in the same amount as listed
Any brand of vegan cream cheese is fine for no bake recipes
There are so many options to choose from when it comes to vegan whipped cream
SILK Brand Heavy Whipping Cream is my favorite *not sponsored

Whichever brand you use (or my homemade recipe) you will need 2 cups of fully whipped volume of whipped cream

Storage Apple Lasagna must be kept refrigerated and will stay fresh for up to 5 days
