Combine cream cheese mascarpone cheese sugar and vanilla extract in a large bowl and mix using an electric mixer. Add eggs 1 at a time. Beat until well integrated 2 to 3 minutes. Pour filling into the crust-lined pan and smooth using a spatula.

Arrange apple slices on top of filling in a circular \deck of cards\ arrangement. Sprinkle reserved crust mixture on top.

Bake in the preheated oven until edges begin to firm up apples soften and center remains jiggly 30 to 40 minutes.
