How to Make Apple Cheese Danish Pie

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the pie crust: In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, and sugar. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, mixing until the dough just comes together. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.
3. Prepare the apple filling: Peel, core, and slice the apples. In a bowl, combine the sliced apples, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice.
4. Prepare the cheese filling: In a separate bowl, cream together the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
5. Assemble the pie: On a lightly floured surface, roll out half of the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a 9-inch pie plate. Spread the apple filling evenly over the crust.
6. Dollop the cheese filling over the apples.
7. Roll out the remaining dough and either cut into strips to create a lattice top or place it over the filling as a whole top crust. Crimp the edges to seal.
8. Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
10. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
