Cranberry-Pear Crumble Pie

    1 ready-to-use refrigerated pie crust
    24 Nilla wafers, crushed (about 3/4 cup)
    1/4 cup packed brown sugar
    1/4 cup butter, melted
    1 pkg (8oz) cream cheese, softened
    1 cup shopped cranberries
    2 large fresh pears, sliced
    1 pkg (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
    1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Directions:

Heat oven to 450 degrees.

Line 9-inch-pie plate with crust. Bake 5-6 min. or until lightly browned; cool. Meanwhile, mix wafer crumbs, sugar and butter until well blended.

Reduce oven temperature to 375 F. Spread cream cheese carefully onto bottom of crust; sprinkle with half the wafer crumb mixture. Combine fruit in large bowl. Add dry pudding mix and cinnamon; toss to coat. Spoon into crust; top with remaining crumb mixture.

Bake 35 minutes or until fruit is tender and crust is golden brown. Cool completely. Serve topped with cool whip.

Number of Servings: 10
