Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 store-bought or homemade Pie crust
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 4 medium Apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Caramel sauce
- 0.5 cup Walnuts, chopped
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 1 Egg
- 1 tbsp Milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges. Refrigerate the crust while you prepare the filling.
In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Spread this mixture evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. In a large bowl, toss the apple slices with 3/4 cup granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and flour until evenly coated.
Layer the apple mixture over the cream cheese layer, slightly mounding the apples in the center.
Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the apples, then drizzle with the caramel sauce.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat and stir in the chopped walnuts. Cook for 1-2 minutes, then sprinkle the walnuts over the caramel layer.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with the milk to create an egg wash. Brush the edges of the crust with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Allow the pie to cool for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the layers to set.
Serve as-is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence.
