This is too die for Starrynews. I love apple and pears together. This dish takes it to the next level. Is it pie, or crumble, who cares, it is incredible. Rich, creamy and oh so flavorful. We loved it so much that we didn't share with anyone. I can't wait to make this tasty treat again, it was quick and easy to throw together, using ingredients that I always have in my kitchen. We loved the addition of the cream cheese and the vanilla wafers. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe. :)

This is delicious! I've never mixed pears and apples in a pie, and this turned out really good. I only used one apple and one pear, and my pie was very full. The cream cheese was a wonderful addition to the fruit. Thanks so much for posting! Made for TYM Tag. ***Addition to review*** I made another one and took it to work. It was devoured by all, and everyone wanted the recipe. There are only 4 of us in the office, and I didn't have a slice....the pie was gone within 30 minutes! Great pie.
