GOODNESS
Cinnamon: Cinnamon comes from the bark of a tropical evergreen, just like its cousin cassia. It has an ancient pedigree, even being used to embalm a few pharaohs. That may not sound appetizing, but it has been found to be good for the heart, the stomach and the joints. Not impressed yet? Well consider that it also seems to mimic insulin and therefore helps diabetics moderate their sugar levels. So don't be shy with this tasty and healthy spice.

Cinnamon-Sugar Apple Rings

serves
prep time: 10

ingredients

  • 2 McIntosh apples
  • 4 1/2 teaspoons sugar combined with 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Accompaniment: vanilla ice cream

directions

Set broiler rack about 4 inches from heat and preheat broiler.

Core apples and cut crosswise into 0.25 inch rings, discarding ends. Brush rings with butter on both sides and arrange in 1 layer in a shallow baking pan.

Serve apples with ice cream.
