This portable easy no bake dessert is made with bags of Teddy Grahams filled with fruit filling and topped with whipped cream.
These snack pack desserts are the perfect Fall treat you can take on the go! Perfect for kids and adults alike.
This dessert turns snack packs of Teddy Grahams into easy, portable apple pies.

This is another dessert version of "walking tacos" like my Walking Strawberry Shortcake, Walking Oreo Dessert, Walking Banana Pudding or Walking S'mores.

Tips for Portable Pie Perfection!
- Use any flavor of Teddy Grahams you prefer—cinnamon or honey flavors work especially well with apple pie filling.
- For convenience, use canned apple pie filling. If you prefer a homemade touch, you can make your own apple pie filling.
- Opt for canned whipped topping for a quick assembly, or whip up your own cream for a fresher taste. You can also add a touch of vanilla extract to your whipped cream for extra flavor.
- Carefully open the Teddy Grahams snack packs without tearing them. We suggest using scissors to cut the packs open to fill.

Insider Tips from My Kitchen to Yours
Want to make this recipe even better? Don’t miss my favorite tips below for boosting flavor, perfecting texture, and saving time in the kitchen!
✔️ DO: Have the Cool Whip, apple pie filling, and Teddy Grahams ready to go before assembling—this makes layering the walking dessert quick, easy, and mess-free.
❌ DO NOT: Assemble the treats too early or they may become soggy. Wait until just before serving or keep components separate until it’s time to enjoy.
How to Store Walking Desserts
Refrigerate: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1-2 days. The texture of the cookies might become soggy due to the moisture from the filling and whipped topping.
To maintain the best quality, it's recommended to assemble the walking dessert just before serving.
Freezer: It is not recommended to freeze any leftovers. This dessert is best freshly made.

They are best enjoyed immediately. If you need to store them, cover and refrigerate for up to 1-2 days, however, the Teddy Grahams will soften slightly over time.
While Teddy Grahams are ideal for this recipe, you can experiment with other snack packs with animal crackers or vanilla wafers.

- Choose your favorite Teddy Grahams flavor—both cinnamon and honey pair perfectly with the apple filling.
