Ingredients
- Bags of Animal Cracker cookies
- Apple pie filling
- Whipping cream
Instructions
- Crush the Animal Crackers โ Start by crushing the Animal Cracker cookies right in the bag. You can crush them by hand or use a rolling pinโwhatever works for you! These will be the crust of your walking apple pie, so make sure theyโre crushed into small bits.
2. Add the Apple Pie Filling โ Once your Animal Crackers are crushed, spoon in a generous amount of apple pie filling. This sweet, cinnamon-spiced filling is what gives your walking pie that classic, cozy apple pie flavor.
3. Top with Whipping Cream โ Now, top it all off with a dollop of whipping cream. The fluffy cream balances out the sweet and spiced apple filling and adds an extra layer of indulgence to your dessert.
4. Serve & Enjoy โ Grab a spoon, dig in, and enjoy your Walking Apple Pie! Itโs the ultimate portable dessert thatโs perfect for eating around the campfire or on the go.
Tips & Tricks
- Don’t tear Open the Bag โ To prevent spills, cut the bag open with scissors. You donโt want it to tear halfway through eating!
- Add a Drizzle of Caramel โ If youโre feeling extra indulgent, drizzle some caramel sauce over the top before serving. Itโll give your Walking Apple Pie an extra sweet kick that will wow your taste buds.
- Use Canned Whipped Cream โ If you donโt have time to make homemade whipped cream, canned whipped cream is a perfect substitute. Just keep it in the cooler until youโre ready to serve!
- Try Other Pie Fillings โ If youโre not in the mood for apple, feel free to swap the apple pie filling for another fruit filling, like cherry or blueberry. The Animal Crackers work wonderfully with any fruit filling!
- Pack the Ingredients Separately โ To keep everything fresh, pack the apple pie filling, Animal Cracker cookies, and whipping cream in separate containers or bags. When youโre ready, just assemble, and youโre good to go!
