Blueberry and Apple No-Bake Cake

We love one-pan wonders: This no-bake cake with blueberry and apple dessert ticks all the boxes for a quick and easy and oh so delicious homemade sweet treat.

It will take you only 30 minutes to whip up this fruity dessert feast with only one pan to wash afterwards. The most time-consuming part of this blueberry and apple no-bake cake dessert, is peeling and slicing the apples! 

Fact: Apples, blueberries and cinnamon are the perfect flavour combination and you’ll be making this gorgeous no-bake dessert all year long on your family’s request.

Good apples to use would be Granny Smith, Pink Lady or Braeburn (or why not try a combination?). You want an apple that’s not overly sweet, since you’re adding a little sugar into the mix. Best to steer away from using apples like Golden Delicious and Gala that are very sweet.

If you can, use fresh and succulent blueberries rather than the frozen variety for this recipe.

Top this scrumptious blackberry and apple no-bake cake dessert with ice cream or whipped cream. Add some crunchy goodness to the topping with a sprinkling of chopped pecan nuts. Enjoy!
