Ingredients

1 package (8 ounces) low-fat cream cheese, softened at room temperature for an hour

2/3 cup chopped California Walnuts

1/2 cup dried cranberries or California Raisins

1/4 cup maple syrup

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions

Put cream cheese in a medium bowl. Add walnuts, raisins, syrup and cinnamon. Stir with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until ingredients are mixed together.
Spread on bagels, toast, or apple slices.

TIP: To make as a softer dip for apple slices or strawberries, use twice as much maple syrup. To reduce fat and calorie content, use whipped lowfat cream cheese instead of a brick of lowfat cream cheese.
