1/2 cup plus 1 Tbsp. cold butter , divided

1-1/2 cups flour

4 oz. (1/2 of 8-oz. pkg.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese , cubed, softened

1 Tbsp. cinnamon sugar , divided

8 baking apple s, such as Braeburn or Jonagold

1/4 cup cranberries

16 KRAFT Caramels

1 Tbsp. milk

1. Cube 1/2 cup butter. Process flour, cubed butter, cream cheese and 1 tsp. cinnamon sugar in food processor until mixture forms ball. Divide dough in half. Roll out each half between 2 sheets of parchment to 12x5-inch rectangle. Cut each rectangle crosswise into 24 (1/2-inch-wide) strips. Place in single layer on parchment-covered baking sheet. Refrigerate until ready to use.

2. Cut 1/2-inch-thick slice off top of each apple; discard removed top. Use small sharp knife to make circular vertical cut around inside of each apple, about 1/4 inch from peel. Use melon baller to remove inside of each apple, cutting between the core and peel. Place cut fruit in medium bowl. Add cranberries and remaining cinnamon sugar; mix lightly. Use knife to cut cores from apples, being careful to not cut through to bottoms of apples.

3. Microwave caramels, milk and remaining butter in microwaveable bowl on HIGH 1 to 1-1/2 min. or until caramels are completely melted and sauce is well blended when stirred. Add to fruit mixture; stir until evenly coated.

4. Stand apples in 13x9-inch baking dish sprayed with cooking spray; fill with fruit mixture. Top each with 6 dough strips to resemble lattice crust; firmly press ends of dough strips onto sides of apples to secure. Cover.

5. Bake 45 min. or until apples are tender and crusts are golden brown.
