NOTE: You could probably cut the fat amount by 1/3 by using a light cream cheese product, Neufchatel cheese. Also, I would substitute fresh fruit for the pie filling or possibly use a can of water packed fruit and thicken the juice with cornstarch. This would probably lower the carbohydrate count. (Trish)
