Lazy Gluten Free: Apple Cream Cheese Pie

Apple Cream Cheese Pie


If you are looking for a super simple and delicious summer dessert, look no further. My mom found this recipe in her 2008 Taste of Home cook book and decided to give it a try. It took very little time to prepare, and it was an instant hit with the whole family. You could easily change it up by using a different pie filling for the topping such as, blueberry or cherry. Or mix them for a nice 4th of July themed dessert :)


Apple Cream Cheese Pie

You will need:
1 8oz package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 8oz package Cool Whip, thawed
1-1/2 cups S'morables Gluten Free Graham Crackers
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons butter
1 10oz can apple pie topping (or other fruit)
Dash ground cinnamon

1) Place S'morables in a food processor and pulse until a mixture of fine to medium crumbs is present. Pour into a medium-sized mixing bowl and add the sugar. Cut in butter and mix well. Spread and pack mixture in a 9-inch pie plate sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.

2) In the bowl of a mixer, combine the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Mix in the vanilla. Fold in the whipped topping.

3) Pour cream cheese mixture into prepared crust; spread evenly. Top with pie filling and sprinkle with cinnamon (if using apple filling).

4) Refrigerate for 2 or more hours.

  1. I made this on the 4th of July for my work potluck! I used fresh strawberries and strawberry pie gel instead of the apple pie filling and it was DEVINE! People were fighting over the last piece! Thanks for the awesome and easy recipe!!
