Directions

1 Heat oven to 400°F. Line cookie sheet with foil; place in oven. Make pie crusts as directed on box for Two-Crust Pie using 9-inch glass pie plate.
2 In large bowl, beat cream cheese, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, the vanilla and almond extract with electric mixer on high speed until smooth. Beat in eggs, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour into crust-lined plate. In another large bowl, toss apples and lemon juice to coat; stir in brown sugar, cornstarch and 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon. Spoon apple mixture over cream cheese mixture.
3 Unroll second crust on lightly floured work surface. With 2- to 2 1/2-inch apple-shaped cookie cutter, cut out apple shapes. Reroll scraps and cut out additional apple shapes. Using pancake turner, gently arrange apple shapes on top of pie to cover most of filling.
4 In small bowl, beat egg white and water until blended. Brush over apple shapes. In another small bowl, mix 1 teaspoon granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon; sprinkle over apple shapes.
5 Place pie on foil-lined cookie sheet in oven. Cover pie with sheet of foil to prevent excessive browning; bake 20 minutes. Remove foil; bake 20 to 25 minutes longer or until crust is golden brown. Cool on wire rack; refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight. Serve cold. Store covered in refrigerator.

This is also very good with a crumb(cobbler) topping.

I cannot see this pie being completely cooked in 45 minutes. If I use granny smith apples, which are the best cooking apples, I don't see the 45 minute mark as cooking the apples completely. Is there anyone else that has had to cook this pie longer?

This pie was wonderful. I used a soft apple from my own tree. They are a cross between a golden delicious and something else. You need to eat it cold or the next day. I will make this again and again.

My apples didn't get done. I should have cooked it longer. If you like the crunchy apples it was fine.
