Notes

  • Apples: I like to use tart Granny Smith apples in this recipe to help balance out the sweet cinnamon sauce. However, you can use any type of baking apple, like honeycrisp apples, gala apples, Fuji apples, or Pink lady apples.
  • Water: Try substituting cold apple juice or cider for stronger apple flavor.
  • Vanilla: Feel free to stir in a tablespoon or two of other flavorings such as fresh orange juice, brandy flavor, or any other desired flavoring.
  • Nutrition values are estimates.
