Best Served Warm
In the morning I like to enjoy this with my coffee or when I am reading one of my favorite books – this is absolutely delicious and you can add pretty much anything to it. If you want to get a little fancy then get some Apple Butter or throw in a few raisins to the mix .
Don't worry about the apples falling off when you are cooking – this happens. Just thow them back on if you notice or leave them for afterwards.
