Prepared pie crusts or your favorite crust recipe
2 , 8oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
6 large apples, peeled and thinly sliced
2 tsp lemon juice
1/2 cup sugar
2 tbsp flour
2 tsp ground cinnamon
caramel sauce (optional)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a pie pan with the bottom pie crust. With mixer on high, combine cream cheese, ½ cup sugar and vanilla until fluffy. Add in eggs and mix until combined. Pour cream cheese mixture into the pie crust. In large bowl, combine apples, lemon juice, ½ cup sugar, flour and cinnamon. Gently place apples on top of cream cheese mixture. Top apples with second pie crust turning the crust inwards to bake. Cut a few small slits into the top of the pie. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and place the pie on the cookie sheet. Cover pie loosely with a piece of foil and bake 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 30 minutes or until the apples feel soft when a knife is inserted. Remove from the oven and cool 10 minutes. Place a large plate over the top of the pie and flip it upside down releasing the pie onto the plate. Cool 1 hour on the countertop and then refrigerate 4 hours or overnight. Serve cold with caramel sauce.
