Life in the Slow Lane: Glazed Cinnamon Apples
Author: Nymala Ingasy
Is there anything more lovely than coming home to a kitchen full of delicious scents? For some, it's baking bread, for others, it's toast or bacon cooking. For me, it's the savory aroma of cinnamon. I love the smell of cinnamon filling my kitchen when I'm baking, it feels like fall and cozy memories of baking with my mother. This month's recipe comes courtesy of "Taste of Home" magazine and would be a perfect, easy dessert at a holiday meal. Enjoy!
