Note
Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to room temperature before mixing to avoid lumps.
Use cold milk as specified to help the pudding set properly.
For best results, chill the pie for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to ensure the layers are firm and easy to slice.
You can substitute fresh chopped apples cooked with sugar and cinnamon for the canned pie filling if you prefer a homemade touch.
Toast the almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant, watching closely so they don't burn.
