1

Heat oven to 375ºF.
2

In large bowl, stir together caramel topping and the cinnamon until blended. Add apples; toss until evenly coated. Spread in ungreased 8-inch square (2-quart) glass baking dish.
3

Combine butter and crushed granola bars. Crumble mixture over apples in baking dish.
4

Bake 45 to 50 minutes or until apples are tender and topping is golden brown. If desired, serve with whipped cream and additional caramel topping.

Tip: Try to cut all of the apples in this recipe into slices of the same thickness, so they'll cook evenly. To test for doneness, simply poke the tip of a sharp knife into an apple, and you'll be able to feel if it's tender.
