An "Apple" For the Teacher

This week is Teacher Appreciation Week at the middle school. Today I made these adorable little apple pies in a jar for Christian to take to his teachers tomorrow.
I found the idea/recipe at Gourmet Mom on the Go which is a great blog!
The pies have a graham cracker crust with a layer of cheesecake then apple filling and are topped with a pie crust. You can follow Gourmet Mom's directions exactly, or you can get confused on how many ounces are in a pint and buy jars that are too small. (Guess which one I did!) These pies were made in 4 ounce jars and I just halved the recipe and it worked out fine. I actually think they are the perfect size!
Tie them up in cello and add a tag and you have the perfect teacher gift!
