LOOKING for: Berry pies with a cream cheese layer?

Long ago my brother used to work at a small Diner. The lady of the place did all the desserts.
She used a cream cheese layer on top of the crust and under her berry pies. (Me recollection though was that it was a little pineapple flavored. But I'm not sure.)
It was just a thin layer.
Her reason for it was to keep the crust from getting soggy.
Anyone every heard of anything like this?
It didn't interfere with the "berry" part..it was just another level of wow to add to the pies.

| Sounds good to me too. I have this recipe from a restaurant we use to go to when we lived in Grand Rapids 25 years ago. The owner was generous enough to share a couple of his recipes with me. Home Cookin 4.9 Chapter: Recipes From Thibeault's Table Shire House Cream Cheese Pie
============================
have had this recipe for over 25
years. It was given to my by the
owners of
the Shire House Restaurant which was
just outside of Grand Rapids, Michigan
The restaurant has been gone for
many years. The orginal recipe calls
for
poached pears but I have used
strawberries as well as apricots
1 8 oz cream cheese
1 cup whipping cream
1 French Pie Crust (Pate Sucree)
Honey
sugar
vanilla
6 poached pear halves (substitute other fruit)
orange liqueur
Apricot Preserves
. Poach Pears or apricots in 1 cup sugar to 2 cups water with 1 tablespoon of
lemon added. Cook until tender and cool. Prepare and bake pie crust. Cool
