This pie is very good! I especially enjoy it when it's cold. I have seen this recipe before and I noticed that there is a small error in the Streusel ingredients here... it says "1 cup of butter or margarine" but it should only be "1/3 cup" of either. Shouldn't affect the flavour much, maybe just the texture and nutritional info. Otherwise, it's great!

I have tried this recipe and it was good! my mom and my brother liked it too. But, you forgot to mention about the butter after the direction # 5. Anyway, I cut the butter in the streusel mixture before topping it up on the apple. As I mentioned, It's delicious because I like apple pie and cream cheese. Thanks a lot for posting this.

Killer recipe!!! My only problem was that my crust shrank when I baked it. It wasn't pretty but it was an amazing pie!!!

Probably would have been better if I hadn't used 1 cup of butter in strudel and have it slide off the pie and catch fire in bottom of the oven.

Added chopped walnuts to the Strudel topping and a thin layer of caramel under the apple filling.. Absolutely amazing
