1/4 cup Sugar, 1/4 cup Brown Sugar, 1/2 tsp Cinnamon, 1/2 tsp Apple Pie Spice
Slice the top of your cream cheese block diagonally in both directions. Then coat the entire block generously with your sugar mixture. Place in a baking dish or aluminum tray.
1 8 oz block Cream Cheese
You can place your cream cheese block in the oven, grill, or smoker, at 200° for one hour or until cream cheese is slightly melted.
In a large bowl mixed together your powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla, to create a glaze.
1 cup Powdered Sugar, 1 tbsp Milk, 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
Once you pull your cream cheese block from the smoker, grill, or oven, top with apple pie filling, your powdered sugar glaze, and caramel.
1 cup Apple Pie Filling
Serve with graham crackers and enjoy. It’s like cheesecake meets apple pie.

Notes

Choose a mild wood for smoking this. Something like apple wood or cherry wood would be much tastier and less overpowering for this than a stronger wood like hickory.
Add a sprinkle of chopped walnuts or chopped pecans on top for presentation and crunch.
No apple pie spice? Double the cinnamon and add a touch of nutmeg.
