Note

For best results, use a firm apple variety like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp to maintain crunchiness.

You can substitute the raisins with dried cranberries or chopped walnuts for a different flavor profile.

If the cream cheese is too stiff to mix, let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before combining.

This filling can be prepared up to 2 days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Toasting the bread lightly before assembling can add extra texture and prevent sogginess.
