Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pouch (1 lb 1.5 oz) snickerdoodle cookie mix
- 1/2 cup softened butter
- 8 oz softened cream cheese
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg

- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch glass pie plate.
- In a large bowl, combine the snickerdoodle cookie mix and softened butter. Use a pastry blender to achieve crumb-like consistency.

- In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and flour; mix well. Incorporate vanilla and egg until smooth.
- In a small bowl, combine chopped apple pie filling with cinnamon.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture over the pre-baked crust, followed by the apple mixture, prioritizing apples over thickened filling.

- Bake for about 35 minutes or until golden brown on top. Cool completely before refrigerating for at least 3 hours before serving.
