    Spread this mixture over the crust evenly. Spread the 2 cans of pie filling over the top. Cover and refrigerate several hours before serving. *** This dessert needs to be taken from the fridge about 30 minutes before serving, so is easier to cut and serve....or before serving, place bottom of dish in some warm water...
