Preheat the oven to 375 ℉. Line a 9-inch pie plate with one pie crust; set aside.
In a large bowl, stir together the sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt. Add the apples, and toss gently to coat. Add the cheese and ¼ cup of maple syrup; toss gently to combine. Transfer the filling the the pie crust-lined plate. Drizzle the cream on top. Trim the bottom pastry to the edge of the pie plate.
Cut slits in the remaining pie crust. Place on top of the filling and seal. Crimp the edges.
Cover the edge of the pie with foil or a pie crust shield (to prevent over-browning). Bake the pie for 40 minutes. Remove the foil or shield. Bake for about 20 minutes more (or until the apples are tender and the pastry is golden brown). Transfer the baked pie to a wire rack. Brush the top of the pie with the remaining 2 tablespoons of maple syrup. Cool for at least one hour. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
