Welcome to Flight 1124.

Do not recline your seat. I’m just sayin’.

Please buckle up and enjoy this lovely Toffee Apple Cheese Pie. It is like a cross between apple pie and cheesecake. The crunch of the walnuts and toffee is magic.

Here is a video for your inflight entertainment.

Toffee Apple Cheese Pie

Ingredients for the crust:

1 cup crushed vanilla wafers (about 30 wafers)
1/4 cup butter, melted
2 tablespoons sugar

Ingredients for the filling:

2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 eggs, beaten
1-1/2 cups apple pie filling
1/3 cup chopped walnuts
1/3 cup toffee bits

Ingredients for the topping:

1/3 cup chopped walnuts
1/3 cup toffee bits

Directions:

1. Combine the wafer crumbs, butter and sugar; press onto the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased 9-in. pie plate.

2. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, sour cream and extract until smooth. Add eggs; beat on low speed just until combined. Coarsely chop pie filling; cover and refrigerate 3/4 cup for topping. Stir the walnuts, toffee bits and remaining pie filling into cream cheese mixture. Pour into crust.

3. Bake at 325° for 40-45 minutes or until center is almost set. Cool on a wire rack for 1 hour. Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.

4. Just before serving, top with reserved pie filling, walnuts and toffee bits (this is important, you want the toppings crisp against the creamy filling).

Yield: 8 servings.

You’ve got to love a band that, per their bio, “were originally comprised of former Men in a Suitcase frontman Dunstan Bruce, onetime Ow My Hair’s on Fire drummer Alice Nutter, and computer technician Lou Watts”.

Men In A Suitcase.

Ow My Hair’s On Fire.

I see a post in the making.

Check out Chumbawamba and buy their music on the band’s Website.

Cheers! Thank you for Flying with me. I know you have a choice.
