the apple of my eye

I pretty much love to throw apples into anything. I love them in salads, curries, porridge and sandwiches. Granny Smith are my absolute most favorite apple ever so don't even mention the bland Red/Golden "Delicious" in my company! A "Delicious" is an insult to the apple family with it's mealy texture, lack of flavour and ornery appearance. I like my apples tart, juicy and crisp and a Granny Smith fits the bill. I'm eating one right now, in fact! It's nature's perfect snack. But want to dress up that apple and take it to the next level of awesomeness? Nature may not have born this little baby, but oh my!, it sure makes for the perfect snack/breakfast/lazy dinner. Nothing much to it but some sliced apple, sharp cheese, a little bit of cinnamon honey for sweetness and spice and a sturdy whole wheat bagel as a transportation base. Can't find cinnamon honey? Then just sprinkle some cinnamon over your honey and call it a day.
