If you are not an expert baker and need to bring a fall haveinspired dessert somewhere, try this apple pie pudding. It is a sweet and decadent no havebake dessert. The flavors from the layers of pudding with apple pie filling mixed in and ginger snaps have the flavor of apple pie without the work. It did remind us of an apple pie twist on banana pudding. This will be a star on any dessert table. Living in the Deep South means EVERYONE has a Banana Pudding (aka Nanner Puddin') recipe in their repertoire, and I have mine. And, it is pretty good, even though I'm a Damn Yankee! But, that inspired me to create another cookie filled pudding. Apples and ginger are a great match, so why not marry ginger snaps and apple pie filling? I think you and your family will enjoy this incredibly easy and delicious dessert. It will make a great addition to your next picnic or potluck!
Ingredients :
- 8 ounce(s) cream cheese, room temperature
- 14 ounce(s) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 small instant vanilla or cheesecake pudding mix (4 serving size, 3.4 oz)
- 1 1/2 cup(s) milk
- 20 ounce(s) apple pie filling
- 8 ounce(s) frozen whipped topping, thawed
- 1 pound(s) bag of ginger snap cookies
Intructions :
- In a large mixing bowl, using a hand mixer on medium speed, beat the cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk until smooth. Set aside
- In a medium mixing bowl, using the hand mixer on medium speed, beat the pudding mix and milk until thickened (about 2 minutes)
- Open the apple pie filling and run a knife through the apples, cutting them into small chunks
- Stir the pudding and apple pie filling into the cream cheese mixture. Blend until well mixed
- Fold in half of the thawed whipped topping until well blended
- Spread 2 \u2013 3 large spoonfuls of pudding mixture on the bottom of an 8 x 8 pan (or equivalent). Place a layer of whole ginger snap cookies over the pudding. Spoon 1/3 of the remaining pudding mixture evenly over the cookie layer
- Repeat with another layer of cookies, another third of the pudding mixture, and another layer of cookies. Finish with the remaining pudding mixture
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight
- Crush the remaining ginger snaps into crumbs. The easiest way to do this is to place cookies in a quart-size freezer bag and crush them with a rolling pin or heavy glass bottle
- To serve, spoon Apple Pie Pudding into a bowl, add a dollop of remaining whipped topping (or real whipped cream), and sprinkle with crushed ginger snaps. Refrigerate any leftovers.
