Graham Cracker Crumbs – This forms the classic graham cracker crust base, but you could also swap them out for Golden Oreo cookies for a sweeter crust.
Cinnamon – This is my secret ingredient to add that nice and warm signature apple pie flavor to the crust.
Unsalted Butter – Unsalted butter helps control the salt in your dessert. Also, melted butter helps combine the crust faster.
Cream cheese – Use room-temperature cream cheese. It’s way softer and easier to mix. Also, do not use the variety in a tub. Use the blocks of cream cheese since they’re richer and smoother.
Vanilla Extract – Make sure you use pure vanilla extract, not imitation, or you can try my homemade vanilla extract recipe.
Cool Whip – Store-bought cool whip works just fine. But you can try my homemade cool whip if you want to avoid the store-bought one.
Apple Pie Filling – It packs a lot of flavor, and is a big time saver compared to cleaning, cutting, and prepping whole apples. Our fried apples would work great as the filling too!
Pecans – You can also chop up and sprinkle any other nuts you like. For best flavor, be sure to toast the pecans using our easy tips and tricks.
