   electric mixer on medium speed until smooth.

   mix pie filling and cinnamon. Spoon evenly over cream cheese mixture.
   Sprinkle reserved crumbs over top. Sprinkle with walnuts.

5. Bake 35 to 40 minutes longer or until light golden brown. Cool about 30 minutes.

6. Refrigerate to chill, about 2 hours. For bars, cut into 6 rows by 4 rows.
