Steps:
- 1. In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine apples, 4 tablespoons water, 1 teaspoon Truvia® natural sweetener, and cinnamon. Cover and cook until apples are tender and juicy, about 6 minutes. Uncover, toss and set aside.
- 2. In a medium bowl, stir together the cream cheese, walnuts, cherries, 1 teaspoon Truvia® natural sweetener, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla. Put 4 slices bread on a cutting board and evenly spread with cream cheese mixture, about 1/4 cup per slice. Firmly press a second piece on top of each to form a sandwich.
- 3. In a shallow bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, remaining 1 teaspoon Truvia® natural sweetener and vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Heat a heavy nonstick skillet over medium heat until a drop of water skitters around the pan. Soak each sandwich in the milk mixture for 1 minute, turning once and pressing edges of bread together.

Add about 1 tablespoon of butter and melt until foamy. Working in 2 batches if necessary, arrange the soaked bread slices in the skillet. Cook until lightly brown, about 3 minutes. Lay 2 slices of cream cheese on top then place 1/6 of the raspberries on top of the cheese. Place another slice of soaked bread on top and press firmly with the back of a spatula. Turn the "sandwich" over and brown on the other side, about 3 minutes more. Transfer to warmed serving plates.

Steps:
- Mash together 5 tablespoons of the butter with the chopped pears and chill.
