Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 5 minutes, remove and allow to cool about 5 minutes.To make filling: In bowl, place cream cheese, eggs, sugar and vanilla and mix well. Pour into the partially-cooled crust. Toss the apple slices in the granulated sugar and cinnamon, then place on the cream cheese filling.
