Apples make a great snack, and I recently found a great summer variety—Jazz.

Jazz apples are from New Zealand and are a cross between Braeburn and Gala. You will recognize these beauties by their red color which reveal a slight yellow background. They have a sweet and crunchy appeal which stand up to baking as well as a peanut butter dipping. 

Soon after returning to a regular diet, one of my favorite breakfast recipes was cinnamon apples warmed in the microwave. 

So, jazz it up with apples. 

—recipe for Cinnamon Apples:

slice apples

add cinnamon

artificial sweetener to taste

small amount of water

heat in microwave until tender

Great addition to cottage cheese, canadian bacon, breakfast ham, or turkey sausage.
