This tastes just like apple pie with a different shape. I am not the best at making a crust but this crust is great and so easy to make

Time 2h5m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 - 8 0z pkg philadelphia cream cheese
1 c butter (softened)
3 1/4 c flour, saving back the 1/4 c. of flour
10 granny smith apples or any apple of your choice
1 1/4 c granulated sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
3/4 c powdered sugar
1 Tbsp water

Steps:

  • 1. HEAT oven to 400ºF.
  • 2. BEAT cream cheese and butter in large bowl with mixer until well blended. Gradually add 3 cups flour, mixing on low speed after each addition just until blended.
  • 3. Shape into 2 balls. Place 1 ball on large lightly floured sheet of waxed paper; flatten slightly. Cover with second floured sheet of waxed paper. Roll out dough to 15-1/2x10-1/2-inch rectangle. Discard top sheet of waxed paper.

  • 5. Toss apples with remaining flour, granulated sugar and cinnamon; spread onto bottom of crust.
  • 6. REPEAT rolling out of remaining dough ball to make second rectangle. Remove top sheet of waxed paper; carefully flip dough over apples. Discard waxed paper. Tuck edges of dough down sides of pan to enclose apples. Make several slits in top crust to vent. BAKE 35 to 40 min. or until golden brown.
