Step 1

In small saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add apples and juice; toss to coat. Bring to boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat.

Separate dough into 4 triangles. On lightly floured surface, roll 2 triangles into 5 inch circles. Place each into an 8 oz ramekin, pressing dough onto the bottom and 1/2 inch up the sides.

In small bowl, beat cream cheese, confectioners sugar and vanilla. Spread over dough in ramekins. Top with apple mixture. Roll out remaining dough into 4 inch circles; place over filling. Cut slits in top.

Bake 375* for 20 to 25 minutes or until filling is bubbly and topping is golden brown. Combine glaze ingredients; drizzle over pies. Serve warm.
