Description
A delicious and unique dessert combining the flavors of snickerdoodle cookies and cream cheese with a classic apple pie.
Ingredients
- 2 pre-made pie crusts (9-inch)
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 medium apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced (about 4 cups)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon sugar (1 tablespoon sugar mixed with 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until smooth and creamy.
- In another bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice, brown sugar, flour, and nutmeg until well combined.
- Place one pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the bottom of the crust.
- Layer the apple mixture over the cream cheese layer, spreading it evenly. Dot the top with small pieces of butter.
- Cover with the second pie crust, sealing the edges and cutting slits for steam to escape. Sprinkle the top with cinnamon sugar.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 350°F and continue baking for an additional 30-35 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the crust is golden brown.
- Let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing to allow the filling to set.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, try adding a teaspoon of caramel sauce to the apple mixture.
- You can also substitute the apples with pears for a different twist.
