Categories: Pies, Pastry, Fruits, Cheese0
Yield: 8 servings

2 1/4 c A-P flour
2 ts Sugar
3/4 ts Salt
1 c Cold unsalted butter; in
- cubes
6 tb (to 8 tb) ice water

MMMMM--------------------------FILLING-------------------------------
8 oz Cream cheese; softened
1 1/4 c Sugar; divided
1 ts Vanilla extract
9 c Thin sliced, peeled,
- McIntosh apples
1/2 c A-P flour
1 ts Apple pie spice
1/4 ts Salt
14 1/2 oz Can pitted tart cherries;
- drained
2 tb Butter

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 half into a disk; wrap
and refrigerate 1 hour or overnight.

Set oven @ 425oF/218oC.

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 half the dough to a
1/8" thick circle; transfer to a 9" pie plate. Trim
crust even with rim.

Spread cream cheese mixture onto bottom crust. Add apple
mixture; dot with butter. Roll remaining dough to a
1/8" 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.
