Ingredients:
1 single pie shells, baked
1 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon lemons, rind of, grated
1 tablespoon lemon juice
fresh strawberries, halved
kiwi fruits, peeled and sliced
1 (11 ounce) cans mandarin oranges, drained
1 (11 ounce) cans crushed pineapple, drained
1/4 cup apple jelly, melted ( microwave is great for this!)
Directions:
In small bowl combine the cream cheese, sugar, lemon peel and juice.
Beat at medium speed with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, scraping sides of bowl often, about 1 to 2 minutes.
Spread over baked pie crust.
Chill at least 1 hour.
Several hours before serving, arrange fruit on filling.
I like to use the strawberries nearest the rim of the pie shell, then a ring of overlapping kiwi slices, then a ring of mandarin oranges followed with a “bull’s-eye” of the crushed pineapple in the center.
Brush the fruit with the melted apple jelly and serve.
You may substitute whatever your favorite fruit or berries are for the topping.
