Snickerdoodle cream cheese apple pie

This Snickerdoodle Cream Cheese Apple Pie is a delightful twist on the classic apple pie. The combination of the sweet and tangy apple filling, creamy cream cheese layer, and crunchy snickerdoodle crust creates a truly indulgent dessert.

Ingredients:

• For the Crust:
  • 1 lb 1.5 oz pouch of Snickerdoodle Cookie Mix
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
• For the Cream Cheese Filling:
  • 8 oz package cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 egg
• For the Filling:
  • 1 1/4 cups apple pie filling, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crust:

• Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie plate.
• In a large bowl, combine the snickerdoodle cookie mix and butter. Use your fingers to work the mixture together until it resembles coarse crumbs.
• Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pie plate.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.

2. Make the Cream Cheese Filling:

• In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
• Add the sugar, flour, vanilla, and egg. Beat until well combined.

3. Assemble the Pie:

• Pour the apple pie filling into the partially baked crust.
• Sprinkle with cinnamon.
• Dollop the cream cheese filling over the apples.
• Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.

4. Cool and Serve:

• Let the pie cool completely before slicing and serving.

Tips:

• For a more intense cinnamon flavor, increase the amount of cinnamon in the filling.
• You can use fresh apples instead of canned apple pie filling. Simply peel, core, and slice the apples before adding them to the pie.
• For a richer flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg or cloves to the filling.
• Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent treat.
