What You Need

ready-to-use refrigerated pie crust (1/2 of 15-oz. pkg.)

NILLA Wafers, crushed (about 3/4 cup)

1/4

cup packed brown sugar

1/4

cup butter, melted

pkg. (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened

cup chopped cranberries

large fresh pears, sliced

pkg. (3.4 oz.) JELL-O Vanilla Flavor Instant Pudding

1/2

tsp. ground cinnamon

1-1/4

cups thawed COOL WHIP Whipped Topping

Make It

HEAT oven to 450ºF.

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

REDUCE oven temperature to 375ºF. 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 min. or until fruit is tender and crust is golden brown. Cool completely. Serve topped with COOL WHIP.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Size-Wise

Since this indulgent pie makes 10 servings, it is the perfect dessert to serve at your next party.

Note

Check pie after 25 min. If edge of crust is becoming too brown, cover pie loosely with foil for the rest of the baking time.

Substitute

Substitute 1 sliced large Granny Smith apple for the cranberries.

This pie was delicious! I added 2 tablespoons of milk to the cream cheese to make it easier to spread on the crust. Also, my local store didn't have fresh or frozen cranberries, so I used 2 cans of whole berry cranberry sauce, rinsed so only the berries were left (no juice/gel). Tasted great, will definitely make again!

The cream cheese tastes great with the pear and cranberry. Teens and adults BOTH loved this. (Note: there's also a "healthy living" version of this recipe so search that if you prefer).
