3 Spread cream cheese mixture evenly over dough. Spoon apple pie filling evenly over cream cheese mixture. Sprinkle with crushed granola bars.

Expert Tips:
To easily crush granola bars, use rolling pin to crush bars before unwrapping.
Swap out the granola bars for chopped walnuts or pecans for a tasty variation.
