1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 medium granny smith apples, peeled, cored and sliced cinnamon

3. Combine cream cheese, brown sugar, peanut butter and vanilla and mix well. Spread the mixture on top of the cookie. Arrange the apple slices evenly over the the cream cheese mixture, sprinkle with cinnamon, heat the caramel topping in the microwave for 30-45 seconds or until warm and drizzle over the apples.
