Ingredients

CRUST:
2 cups ground gingersnap cookies
2 tablespoons sugar
1/3 cup Butter Flavor CRISCO® All-Vegetable Shortening

8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/2 cup whipping cream

Arrange fruit on top of chilled filling. Combine SMUCKER'S® Apricot Preserves with water and brush over top.
