Plain Granny Smith apples again? I don't think so! I fixed this for my diabetic daughter and she loved them. Such a fast healthy snack and did you know that the cinnamon helps lower your blood sugar, they say to have one teaspoon per day. So make sure you have the best cinnamon you can get, high in oil. So easy, I don't know why I did not think of this one as I love to eat the apple mixture I fix for apple pies. Thanks LUv 2 BaKE

What a great idea, why didn't I think of this! I've made these 4 times since I found this recipe, I love them. I do add a little bit of splenda to sweeten them up a little. mmmm

My grandmother had two apple trees in her yard, and was always making pies, strudel, etc. This was one way she served apples to me when I stayed with her as a child. Delicious!! She'd sometimes add a tablespoon of lemon juice too, to keep the apples from turning brown.
Great snack!

Simple and delicious! Great for satisfying a sweet tooth, and with no added sugar. Can cut apples in wedges and serve with vanilla yogurt for dipping as well.Thanks for sharing your recipe!

Oooh That's really similar to what my mama made for me when I was little. I think she added a bit of brown sugar too though. I like to do the same, but I like to sprinkle with raisins and a drizzle of honey. :D

Seems so simple and obvious and yet so many of us never think to add cinnamon to raw apples. I used a JonaGold and it was just wonderful. The cinnamon actually made the apple taste even sweeter and more crisy. Yummy! Now thinking of playing a bit more with other spices like nutmeg or cardamon. Thanks for opening my eyes to a new way to perk up my afternoon staple.

So simple, but soooo great. This is a really healthy snack! I think the recipe doesn't need any comments. I used a lot of cinnamon, because I like it. And sometimes I add a liitle of honey, brown sugar or sugar beet molasses when using tart apple varieties. This is also a kid pleaser. Fantastic, thanks for sharing this idea and recipe.

I tried this with just cinnamon and it was okay. Then, I tried it with cinnamon and sugar that I use for cinnamon toast and it was delicious! Thanks for the idea!

My six year old daughter loved this idea. She's losing her baby teeth, so we cut the peel off. Then I sprinkled the apple chunks with cinnamon-sugar which I keep in the cupboard for toast. Since discovering this, Joanna has eaten almost a whole bag of apples herself ! Thanks for posting a great new healthy snack idea. One note of caution...Jo decided she wanted this in her lunch box, so I did it. She said by lunchtime, the apples were very soft and brown and yucky. So don't count on this for a make-ahead snack idea.

Can't believe I am a WW and didn't know this! It is a nice change to a regular apple, and for me no calories added I loved it! Have had one apple every day since I read this. I like your method of shaking the apples, that way the cinnamon is evenly distributed over the pieces. Thanx you probably helped me to lose another lb!That is equal to saint hood in my book ha!
