Because, Hey, Sometimes You Get Homesick.
Situation: You're feeling a little homesick. Hey, it's OK. Whether you actually live a distance from your family or if it's your busy schedule that keeps you from seeing them, we all still miss that feeling of “home” from time to time.
Feelings: Lonely, antsy, maybe even a little sad.
Goal: To eat something that makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside — just like a big hug from mom would!
Hey, chin up there. You'll get through this. All you need is a big ol' baked cinnamon apple. The smell of this darling baking in your oven will alone make you think mom is about to pop in the kitchen, strap a bib on you and feed it to you herself.
Plus, it's easy to make.
Ingredients:
– 1 apple
– 1 and 1/2 tbsp of brown sugar
– 1/2 tsp of cinnamon
– 1/2 tbsp of butter

Directions:
