Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package Premade pie crust
- 4 medium Apples (such as Granny Smith, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced)
- 226 grams Cream cheese (softened)
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 15 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 30 grams Butter (cold, sliced into small cubes)
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 15 milliliters Milk
- 15 grams Powdered sugar (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out the premade pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any overhanging edges and crimp the edges decoratively, if desired.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened cream cheese, 50 grams of granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Spread this mixture evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, 50 grams of granulated sugar, brown sugar, all-purpose flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.
Layer the apple mixture on top of the cream cheese layer in the pie dish, spreading it out evenly.
Dot the top of the apples with the small cubes of butter, dispersing them throughout.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and milk to create an egg wash. Brush this over the edges of the pie crust.
Place the pie dish on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature for about 1 hour.
Optional: Sift powdered sugar over the top of the cooled pie for a decorative touch before serving.
Slice and serve your Apple Cheese Danish Pie at room temperature or slightly warmed. Enjoy!
