Apple Cheesecake Crumb Pie

My son, Samuel, begged me for a pie the other night. He came up to me and said, "Mom, I have a sweet tooth. Can you make me a pie?" I promptly responded, "No." It was ten at night and way too late to start baking a pie! However, I had enough ingredients on hand to make this the next day. I planned it perfectly, when he walked in the house after school it was sitting on the rack cooling and smelling delicious. He was happy, which made me happy!

This is a really easy pie because it uses ready made ingredients with just a little doctoring. It can be served warm but is much better chilled overnight.



1 9" ready to bake pie crust
1 21ounce can apple pie filling
1 tub Philly white chocolate cream cheese
1 package regular cream cheese, softened
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp cardamon
2 tbs butter

Preheat oven to 375°

Beat white chocolate cream cheese, regular cream cheese, sugar, eggs, vanilla and white sugar til fluffy and set aside. Spread pie filling into crust and top with cream cheese mixture. Cover edges of pie with foil, place in oven and bake for 25 minutes. Meanwhile, mix flour, brown sugar and spices together. Add butter and, with a fork, combine until a crumbly mixture forms. Top pie with mixture and place back in oven. Cook an additional 30-50 minutes or until knife inserted into first inch of pie comes out clean. If pie begins to brown to quickly, LOOSELY cover with foil.
