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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Layer the apple mixture on top of the cream cheese layer in the pie dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 6

Dot the top of the apples with the small cubes of butter, dispersing them throughout.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature for about 1 hour.

Step 10

Optional: Sift powdered sugar over the top of the cooled pie for a decorative touch before serving.

Step 11

Slice and serve your Apple Cheese Danish Pie at room temperature or slightly warmed. Enjoy!
