For today, though, I wish to share a recipe I might have to make for my Brother this X-Mas (day after tomorrow). He got a small can of Solo brand apricot cake and pastry filling, a double pack of cream cheese and a graham cracker crust, then told me I could make him a pie.
Joy.
I did a search online for a recipe that takes those ingredients. There are none that I found.
The closest match is the Apricot Delight Cake from the manufacturer's website, which I might be able to pour into a pie crust.
So, here's their recipe, if you don't want to go there right now:
