In another medium bowl, mix crushed granola bars, nuts, flour, remaining 3 tablespoons brown sugar and the butter until crumbly; sprinkle over top.
3 Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes.
4 In small microwavable bowl, microwave spreadable fruit uncovered on High 1 minute. Stir; if necessary, continue to microwave on High in 15-second increments until melted and smooth. Cut waffle bake into 6 servings. Top each serving with about 2 tablespoons warm fruit spread and 1 to 2 tablespoons whipped cream.
