Add granulated sugar, flour and cinnamon; toss to coat. Spoon over crumb layer in crust; sprinkle with remaining crumb mixture.

Love it! Quick and easy. Tested on guests before Thanksgiving and it was a hit! I used fresh pears but Comstock canned baking apples for the apples...still came out delicious!

Great recipe! I made this for friends tonight and will make it again in a couple days for Thanksgiving. I would add more spice just because I like the extra flavor, and possibly more crumble, as someone else suggested.

This stuff is the Bomb!!!! My boys (hubby and son) LOVED this. I used three different types of apples and then the pear and the flavor was so good. The cream cheese on the bottom is a added bonus. NO COOL WHIP REQUIRED!!

This was fantastic! The cream cheese gave it a very unique flavor for a fruit pie. I took it to a potluck and people couldn't quit eating it!

This recipe is very good! I made my own crust, but i didn't have to worry about a top. The crumble tastes very good. I will definitly be making this for Thanksgiving!

My father and family raved about this pie. I made it a double-crust pie and added Sun Maid dried cherries /golden raisins.The desert disappeared.
