For best results, use very cold butter for the crumb topping to ensure a tender, crumbly texture. If the crust edges begin to brown too quickly during baking, cover them with foil or a pie shield. To easily soften cream cheese, remove it from the package and microwave for 15-20 seconds. Feel free to substitute pecans or almonds for the walnuts in the crumb topping. This pie is even better when made a day ahead, allowing the flavors to meld together.
