2. Process biscuits in a food processor until finely crushed. Add butter. Process until combined. Press over base and up side of prepared pan. Refrigerate. 

3. Toss apples with cinnamon in a bowl. Spoon over biscuit base. Place pan on an oven tray. 

4. To make filling, process cream cheese, sugar and vanilla in same, clean food processor until smooth. Add sour cream and eggs. Process until combined. Pour over apples.
