Ingredients
For the crust:
- 2 cups crushed salted pretzels (can use unsalted pretzels if preferred)
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
For the filling:
- 8 ounce block cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- 8 ounce tub whipped topping, thawed
For the topping:
- 2 (20 ounce) cans apple pie filling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F degrees. In a medium mixing bowl, combine 2 cups crushed salted pretzels and ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted.
- Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish and bake in the oven for 10 minutes. Remove and allow the pretzel crust to fully cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, blend 8 ounce block cream cheese, softened to room temperature and ¾ cup powdered sugar until smooth with an electric mixer.
- Gently stir in the 8 ounce tub whipped topping, thawed into the cream cheese mixture until just combined.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture over the cooled pretzel crust and place the baking dish into the refrigerator for 1 hour to chill and set. (This step is important to prevent the apple layer from dripping down into the pretzel crust).
- Spread 2 (20 ounce) cans apple pie filling on top of the cream cheese layer evenly.
- Return to the refrigerator and chill for at least 1-2 hours or overnight until ready to serve.
- Slice and serve, enjoy!
