Ingredients
  

4 plain or cinnamon bagels, halved

2 medium apples (such as Fuji or Honeycrisp), cored and sliced thin

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

4 ounces cream cheese, softened

2 tablespoons honey

1/4 cup granola (for added crunch)

A pinch of salt

Optional: walnuts or pecans for topping

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cinnamon Apples:

    - In a skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the sliced apples, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.

      - Sauté the mixture for about 5-7 minutes, or until the apples are tender and caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.

        Mix the Cream Cheese Spread:

          - In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and honey. Mix until smooth. This will be your delicious spread for the bagels.

            Toast the Bagels:

              - Toast the bagel halves until they are golden brown and crispy. You can use a toaster or a toaster oven for this step.

                Assemble the Sandwiches:

                  - Spread a generous amount of the honey cream cheese mixture on the cut side of each toasted bagel half.

                    - Top the cream cheese with the sautéed cinnamon apples, and sprinkle on the granola for added texture. If you like, add some chopped walnuts or pecans for extra flavor.

                      Finish and Serve:

                        - Place the other half of the bagel on top to create a sandwich. You can serve these warm or at room temperature. Slice in half if desired and enjoy your delightful breakfast or brunch treat!
