- 1 package (17.3 oz) puff pastry sheets (2 sheets)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions
- Prepare the Apples: Peel and slice the apples thinly. Toss them with sugar and cinnamon in a bowl until coated.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Add a pinch of cinnamon.
- Assemble the Pies: Roll out puff pastry on a floured surface. Cut into squares large enough to hold apple slices and cheesecake filling.
