Number Of Ingredients 15

2 1/4 cup(s) all purpose flour
2 teaspoon(s) sugar
3/4 teaspoon(s) salt
1 cup(s) cold unsalted butter, cubed
6-8 tablespoon(s) ice water
FOR THE FILLING
1 package(s) (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1 1/4 cup(s) sugar, divided
1 teaspoon(s) vanilla
9 cup(s) thinly sliced peeled mcintosh apples (about 11 medium)
1/2 cup(s) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon(s) apple pie spice
1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
1 can(s) (14-1/2 ounces) pitted tart cherries, drained
2 tablespoon(s) butter

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar and salt; cut in butter until crumbly. Gradually add ice water, tossing with a fork until dough holds together when pressed. Divide dough in half. Shape each into a disk; wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate 1 hour or overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 425°. For filling, in a small bowl, beat cream cheese, 1/4 cup sugar and vanilla until blended. In a large bowl, toss apples with flour, pie spice, salt and remaining sugar. Stir in cherries. On a lightly floured surface, roll one half of dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim pastry even with rim.
  • Spread cream cheese mixture onto bottom of pastry. Add apple mixture; dot with butter. Roll remaining dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle. Place over filling. Trim, seal and flute edge. Cut slits in top. Bake 45-50 minutes or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Cover top loosely with foil during the last 10-15 minutes if needed to prevent overbrowning. Cool on a wire rack. Refrigerate leftovers.
