Cut the cake into small pieces, and arrange evenly in a 9x13 baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, add cream cheese and icing sugar (I like to do half at a time), mix until smooth with a hand mixer.
Pour in milk and mix again until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure it is all incorporated.
Fold in whipped topping, then transfer to the baking dish and spread evenly over the cake pieces.
Spoon pie filling on top of the cream cheese mixture. Enjoy immediately or place in the fridge to chill before serving.

Add the Icing Sugar Gradually: I like adding half at a time so it's easier to incorporate without making a mess.
Fold in the Whipped Topping: Gently folding rather than beating keeps the filling light and fluffy.
Spread the Cake Evenly: An even layer of angel food cake makes it easier to get a little of everything in each serving.
Give It Time to Chill: Refrigerating before serving gives the layers time to settle and allows the cake to soften slightly.
Room Temperature: Allow the cream cheese to soften, it is much easier to mix, and allows the filling to be extra smooth.
Refrigerator: Cover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap or transfer leftovers to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3-4 days.
Freezer: I don't recommend freezing the assembled dessert because the creamy filling can change texture once thawed.
Make Ahead: Prepare the dessert the day before, cover, and refrigerate until you're ready to serve.
