The pictures show dollops of cream cheese, but the recipe says to spread it. I’m just curious if I need to try to spread that cream cheese or if you just meant spread the dollops out evenly across the pie filling.
Thanks.
Hi Erica ~ yes… you’ll just lay out the dollops evenly across the pie filling. Sorry for the confusion… and enjoy your dump cake! 🙂
