Select a step number to highlight that step.
Line a 9 x 5-inch baking pan with parchment paper. It’s better if you let the parchment hang over the sides for easier removal.
To make the apple mixture: Slice the apples into thin slices. Add the sliced apples into a bowl along with the pumpkin puree, 3 tablespoons cane sugar and 3/4 teaspoons cinnamon and toss to coat completely. Set aside.
To make the whipped cream: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, add the heavy whipping cream, 2 tablespoons cane sugar, and 2 teaspoons pumpkin spice mix. Whisk, starting on low to avoid splattering, and gradually increase speed once it doesn’t splatter, until you are at full speed. Whisk until stiff peaks form.
To assemble the cake: Line the bottom of the baking dish with graham crackers. You’ll have to break up a few larger crackers to fill the bottom, it doesn’t have to be perfect. Next, add a generous amount of whipped cream and spread evenly using a spatula or cake knife. Next add a layer of apples. Repeat the process until the dish is full.
Place in the fridge and let set overnight. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
