"This is a free-form pie with a cream-cheese dough. The original recipe, from Prevention Magazine, was a Rustic Plum Pie. I imagine this would be equally good with other fruits - thinking of trying mango or peaches next. However, my first attempt was with apples, and it was mighty good! I just used cinnamon instead of ginger, and added a few bits of butter (about 2 teaspoons total) dotted on top of the apples. Shaped it oblong rather than round, so that it would fit in my toaster oven."
