Apple Cheesecake Pie
1 recipe Perfect Pie Crust
Cheesecake:
1-8 oz pkg cream cheese
1/4 C sugar
1 egg
Apple Pie Filling:
6 large apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
1/2 T lemon juice
6 T sugar
1 T cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
3 T cornstarch
cinnamon-sugar
Prepare the Perfect Pie Crust, divide the dough in half, roll out one half of the dough into a circle, and place it inside a pie dish. Cut off excess crust on the edges. Keep the other half of the pie crust covered so it doesn't dry out. In a small bowl with a hand mixer, beat the cream cheese and sugar until creamy. Beat in the egg until smooth. Spread onto the bottom of the prepared pie crust. In a large bowl, combine apples, lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch. Toss to coat and then GENTLY spoon the apples and their juices onto the cheesecake layer. Lightly wet the edges of the pie crust in the dish with a little water on your fingertips. Roll out the other half of the pie crust dough, cut it into ten one-inch strips, and weave a lattice top over the pie with five strips crisscrossing and weaving over and under the other five strips. Cut off excess dough and crimp edges. Sprinkle the top generously with cinnamon-sugar. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 60 minutes or until crust is baked and the apple pie filling is bubbling in the center. Allow to cool completely before serving. Keep refrigerated.
