  You can use any filling you'd like. I've used blueberry, apple, and any kind of canned pie filling in your local store.

  Without the whipped cream cheese, yes there are similar recipes without the whipped cream cheese. Then it would be more like a cherry pie. If you want to skip the butter, there are plenty of vegan options.
