Pear-Apple Crumble Pie



3/4 c. crushed Nilla Wafers (about 24 wafers)
1/4 c. firmly packed Brown Sugar
1/4 c. (1/2 stick) Butter, melted
1 ready-to-use refrigerated Pie Crust (1/2 of 15 oz. pkg.)
4 oz. Philadelphia Cream Cheese, softened
2 large baking Apples, peeled, sliced
1 large fresh Pear, peeled, sliced
1/3 c. granulated Sugar
1/4 c. Flour
1/2 tsp. ground Cinnamon
1-1/4 c. Cool Whip, thawed

PREHEAT oven to 375ºF. Mix wafer crumbs, brown sugar and butter until well blended; set aside.

PLACE pie crust in greased 9-inch pie plate. Spread cream cheese carefully onto bottom of crust; sprinkle with half of the crumb mixture. Set aside. Combine fruit in large bowl. Add granulated sugar, flour and cinnamon; toss to coat. Spoon over crumb layer in pie crust; sprinkle with remaining crumb mixture.

BAKE 35 min. or until fruit is tender and crust is lightly browned, covering loosely with foil after 25 min. if necessary to prevent crust from overbrowning. Cool on wire rack. Serve topped with the whipped topping. Store any leftover pie in refrigerator.

I found this recipe on kraftfoods.com and LOVED it! It's not your traditional apple pie but is still scrumptious.
