I had made a cheesecake that was just "ok" (nothing special). Used half of it in this recipe and we loved it! Used the apple pie filling but I think any pie filling would be fantastic. You do have to just wing it for the measurements but it's not hard to figure out once you start making it how much to use.

This was hard to follow because there were no measurements. I had to just wing it and even though it turned out tasty, it would have been less frustrating to have actual measurements to use. I give it 5 stars for flavor but 3 overall.

I made these years ago, took me a while to find this recipe again w/o the apples inside. My family loves these. This is the real deal, just like at Mexican restaurants!
