Apple-Pear Crumble Pie - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    3/4 cup vanilla wafer, crushed (about 24)
    1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
    1/4 cup butter, melted
    1 ready-to-use pie crust (1/2 of 15 oz package)
    4 ounces cream cheese, softened
    1 -2 large baking apple, peeled, sliced
    1 large pear, peeled, sliced
    1/3 cup sugar
    1/4 cup flour
    1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Preparation
    Preheat the oven to 375\u00b0F
    Prepare a crumb mixture by combining vanilla wafer crumbs, brown sugar, and butter, and mixing well.
    Place pie crust on cookie sheet.
    Spread cream cheese across bottom of the crust-- watch out because the dough could tear a bit, so take your time.
    Cover cream cheese with half of the crumb mixture.
    Combine fruit, sugar, flour, and cinnamon in a large bowl and toss to mix well.
    Spread fruit mixture into the pie and cover with the remaining crumb mixture.
    Bake for 35 minutes, when fruit is tender and crust is lightly browned.
    If necessary, you can cover loosely with foil to prevent crust from getting too well done after 25 minutes.
