This is my kids favorite "do it themself" snack.

1 flour tortilla
1/4 cup chunky cinnamon applesauce
grated cheddar cheese

Spread the applesauce on the tortilla, sprinkle cheddar cheese on top, roll it up and zap it in the microwave about 15-30 seconds.

Its a quick,healthy,easy snack they can make after school.

Thanks G~Mom!!!

APPLE CIDER RECIPE

1 gallon naturally sweet apple cider
1 cup brown sugar
4 cinnamon sticks, broken in half
1 Tablespoon whole cloves
1 Tablespoon whole allspice

(I personally like slices of apples and raisin's in mine too, but it is all by a matter of likes and dislikes, the apple's may melt away and the raisin's look a little plump by the end of it, but it does add a nice flavor to it.)


*You can tie the cinnamon, cloves, allspice together in cheesecloth or use a coffee filter tied with string, if you don't like the stuff floating in it.)
Combine cider and brown sugar in a large pot.
Add spices. Bring mixture to a slow boil.
Then turn heat down and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes.
(Take the bag of spices from pot if you did it that way.)
You can keep the Spiced Apple Cider warm in a crock-pot (slow cooker, on low setting.)
or I put it in my coffee pot and put it on my burner, I have 3 Mr. Coffee's type units..
15~18 servings.
