Icebox pies always brings back freshman year nostalgia when I think about my roommate who would make lemon icebox pie. It’s easy, effortless and has been my go-to dessert ever since. Being an avid lover of apple pie, I’ve altered the recipe to be made with apple pie filling instead of a lemon-flavored pie. I’ve even gotten compliments from this pie being like ‘apple ice cream’.

1 bar of cream cheese (8 ounces)
