Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a 9-inch pie plate very well with cooking spray; set aside.

To a large bowl, add the sugar cookie mix, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 0.5 cup softened butter, and mix with a pastry cutter or two forks until large crumbly bits form.

Turn just over half (about 60%) of the mixture out into the prepared pie plate and press it over the base and up the sides to create an even, smooth crust.

Bake for about 11 to 12 minutes, or until just set. When done, remove from oven and set aside.

While the crust bakes, to the remaining sugar cookie mixture, add 3 tablespoons of melted butter and 1 to 2 tablespoons flour. Toss with a fork to combine until larger crumbly bits form. Depending on how wet your mixture is, add additional flour until the crumbs dry out somewhat (up to 3 tablespoons total). Reserve and set aside the crumble.

To a separate large bowl, add the cream cheese, 0.25 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, and beat with a handheld electric mixer on medium-high speed until smooth and fluffy, about 45 seconds.

Add the egg and vanilla extract, and beat until smooth.

Turn the cream cheese mixture out into the baked pie crust and smooth the top lightly with a spatula; set aside.

To a large bowl (the same one you used for the cream cheese is fine), add the apple pie filling, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 0.5 teaspoon allspice, 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves, and 0.25 teaspoon salt. Stir gently to combine.

Slowly and evenly turn the apple mixture out over the cream cheese layer, and smooth the top lightly with a spatula.

Evenly sprinkle the reserved crumble topping (from step 5 of the Crust and Crumble section). Place the pie plate on a baking sheet (for insurance against overflow) and bake for about 55 minutes, or until the top of the pie is lightly golden brown and the crumble is set. Start checking the pie at 40 minutes and bake as long as necessary.

Cool on a wire rack for 1 hour and refrigerate at least 3 to 4 additional hours (overnight is best) or until chilled before optionally serving with whipped topping or ice cream.
