Lift cooking square from pan using foil. Peel off foil. Cut cookie into 12 squares.
Before serving, top with apple slices and a spoonful of the Apple-Cinnamon Dip (see instructions below). Sprinkle with Honey-Oat Granola (see instructions below).

Apple Cinnamon Dip

Place in a blender container or food processor bowl the sour cream, cream cheese, unsweetened applesauce, ground cinnamon and vanilla. Cover and blend until smooth.
Serve immediately or cover and chill for up to 24 hours. If dip is too thick after chilling, stir in fat-free milk, 1 tablespoon at a time to reach desired consistency.

Honey-Oat Granola

Coat a 15x10x1-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
In a large bowl, stir together oats, wheat flakes, Grape-Nuts and nuts.
In a small saucepan stir together juice, honey, allspice and cinnamon. Cook and stir just until boiling. Remove from heat. Pour over oat mixture, tossing just until coated.
Spread oat mixture evenly in prepared pan. Bake, uncovered, in a 325 degrees F oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until oats are lightly browned, stirring occasionally. Remove from oven. Turn out onto a large piece of foil, cool completely.
