Ingredients
Instructions
- In a 1 1/2-quart shallow dish (10 x 6 inches), combine butter and graham cracker crumbs and press into the bottom of the dish.
- In a bowl, mix together Eagle Brand milk, sour cream, and lemon juice until smooth.
- Spread the creamy mixture evenly over the prepared crust.
- Spread the apple pie filling evenly over the creamy layer.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25 to 30 minutes or until set.
- Allow to cool slightly.
- In a small bowl, mix chopped walnuts and cinnamon together.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon walnut mixture over the top before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using a mix of graham cracker crumbs and crushed nuts for the crust. If you don't have Eagle Brand milk, sweetened condensed milk can be a good substitute. To make the dish lighter, you can use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. This dessert can also be made ahead of time for gatherings, making it a great option for serving alongside Celebration Sandwiches.

This creamy Dutch apple dessert is best served chilled, making it a refreshing end to any meal.
