This recipe was quick and tasty; however it's really sweet. I cut back on the honey when i made it a second time.

This was very simple and quite tasty. I used pumpkin pie spice as well as cinnamon. I plan to make more to give as Christmas gifts.

It's quick, easy, and delicious. As good as, if not better than, anything you'll find at a farmer's market or orchard store and way cheaper to make.
