Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C).
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8 minutes, then remove and let it cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese and continue beating until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the cooled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Arrange the sliced strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries on top of the cheese filling in an even layer or in a decorative pattern.
If using the apricot glaze, warm the apricot preserves with the water in a small saucepan over low heat until melted and smooth. Strain to remove any lumps, if desired. Lightly brush the glaze over the berries to give them a shiny finish.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours to set before serving.
Slice and enjoy your Berry Cheese Pie!
