Heat oven to 450 degrees. Make pie crust as directed on box for one baked pie crust shell, using a 9-inch glass pie pan, except do not prick crust. Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until light brown. If crust puffs in center, flatten gently with back of wooden spoon. Remove and reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together streusel ingredients except butter. With pastry blender or fork, cut in butter until mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Set aside. In large bowl, gently mix apple layer ingredients; set aside.

In small bowl, beat cream cheese and - 206-140- cup granulated sugar on low speed until well blended. Add egg and vanilla; beat well. Spread in crust-lined pan. Spoon apple mixture evenly over cream cheese layer; sprinkle with streusel.

Bake 50 to 60 minutes or until apples are tender and streusel is golden brown. If necessary, cover pie loosely with foil during last 10 to 15 minutes of baking to prevent overbrowning. Cool at least 1 hour before serving. Store covered in fridge.
