Steps

1

Open the pie filling & and pick out 7 nice looking pieces of fruit. Set aside, this is for decorating the top of your pie.

Chop the rest of your fruit & set aside.

In a mixing bowl, cream together the cream cheese and whipped topping until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar and apple pie spice. Blend until it is all incorporated.
4

Fold in chopped fruit. Spread in your pie shell. Decorate the top of pie with reserved whole pieces of fruit & a sprinkling of apple pie spice.

You can also make a plain cream cheese pie. Blend together cream cheese, whipped topping & powdered sugar. Spread in pie shell. When ready to serve, spoon pie filling over the top of each slice. This works best if you have fussy eaters... 1 wants cherry, 1 wants apple, 1 wants peach, 1 wants strawberry...
