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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
