Ingredients

1 uncooked crumb top apple pie
1 sheet frozen puff pastry
2 cups whipped topping
2 teaspoons cinnamon sugar
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup powdered sugar, sifted
4 tablespoons caramel creme liqueur

Directions

Bake apple pie per package instructions. Let cool. Once cooled, break up pie with a fork.

Thaw puff pastry sheet at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Unfold puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Cut into 3 strips along the fold marks. Place strips 2-inches apart on a baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden. Remove from baking sheet and cool on a wire rack.

In a small bowl combine whipped topping and cinnamon sugar. Set aside.

In a small mixing bowl, beat on low speed with an electric mixer the cream cheese and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add caramel creme liqueur and beat until smooth.

Place one baked puff pastry sheet on a platter. With the back of a fork, gently push down center of the pastry creating a trough for filling. Spoon in some broken-up apple pie, and then layer with 1 cup of whipped topping mixture. Repeat with next layer. Top with baked pastry sheet. Drizzle with glaze and serve.

What a waste of time!
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I just watched the show and had to see reviews. I am glad to see that I am not alone. Why would you crush an apple pie...with... the crust and place on a puff pastry? Semi-Homemade? Full waste of effort.Read more

Tasty, but Messy!
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I liked the concept of this recipe and thought it looked spectacular on the show. However, it was really hard to put... together and plate up. When placing the 2nd and 3rd layers, it fell over & came all apart...of course this was right before my guests were to arrive. I basically cut it into serving sizes and scooped it on to dessert plates, which I topped w/ add'l whipped cream and glaze. Everyone raved about the taste of the dessert, even tho' it looked a mess on the plate. Might be easier to just make the pie and serve everyone a piece.Read more

Has potential
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

This recipe is great if you need to take out your frustrations on apple pie. It is great therapy, really. How many times have... you had to resist the temptation to mush up a pie? Well, now you have aa actual reason to! Aside from that, just make the desert with some apple pie filling (homemade or canned) and real whipped cream (once again, either homemade or canned) and a drizzle of caramel sauce. THAT would be delicious!Read more

Awful. Waste of a pie
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

Do yourself a favor and just eat the pie as is with maybe some fresh whipped cream and some caramel sauce. This "recipe" is a... waste of time and money.Read more
