Easy Cream Cheese Apple Dessert (Almost Cheesecake!)

Ingredients

• 1/4-1/3 cup butter
• 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

• 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
• 8 ounces sour cream
• 1/4 cup lemon juice

• 1 (21 ounce) can apple pie filling
• 1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions

1. 1

   Set oven to 350 degrees F (oven rack set to lowest bottom position).

2. 2

   Grease a 1-1/2-quart, or an 8 x 8-inch square baking dish.

3. 3

   In the baking dish, melt the butter inside the oven.

4. 4

   Remove from oven; sprinkle the cracker crumbs in the melted butter, stir well; press on the bottom of the baking dish to form a crust.

5. 5

   Bake the graham crust in a 350 degree oven for 7 minutes; remove and set aside.

6. 6

   In a medium bowl, mix together the sweetened condensed milk, sour cream and lemon juice.

7. 7

   Spread evenly over the crumb/crust.

8. 8

   Spoon the pie filling evenly over the creamy layer (don't worry if it sinks a bit, it will all bake together!).

9. 9

   Bake on lowest oven rack for 25-30 minutes, or until set (don't overbake).

10. 10

    Cool slightly.

11. 11

    In a small dish, mix together the chopped nuts and cinnamon; sprinkle over the pie filling.

12. 12

    Serve warm with ice cream, or serve cold.

13. 13

    Refrigerate any leftovers (this will firm up and develop in flavor if left in the refrigerator overnight).

14. 14

    ** This dessert is very good so you might want to consider doubling it -- this can be easily doubled and baked in a 13 x 9-inch baking pan, double the canned pie filling too and bake it for just a couple minutes longer.
