Description
Individual apple pies filled with a layer of creamy cheesecake.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pie crusts (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 medium apples (like Granny Smith), peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Prepare a standard 12-cup muffin tin by lightly greasing it.
- In a bowl, mix the apple slices with 1/2 cup sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Mix in 1/4 cup sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until combined.
- Cut the pie crusts into circles large enough to line the muffin cups. Gently press the dough into the muffin cups, forming a shell.
- Spoon a layer of the apple mixture into the bottom of each crust-lined cup.
- Top the apples with a spoonful of the cheesecake mixture.
- Place a second, smaller circle of pie dough over the filling for the top crust. Crimp the edges to seal and cut a small vent in the top of each pie.
- Brush the top crusts with the beaten egg wash.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let the pies cool in the tin for 10 minutes before carefully removing them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use firm, tart apples for the best texture in the filling.
- You can use pre-made pie dough circles if you prefer not to roll out the dough.
- For a richer flavor, use full-fat cream cheese.
