General:Cinnamon is the dried bark of various laurel trees in the cinnamomun family. One of the more common trees from which Cinnamon is derived is the cassia. Ground cinnamon is perhaps the most common baking spice. Cinnamon sticks are made from long pie...
This recipe was excellent. The whole family enjoyed it very much. It wasn't long before it was all eaten up. I will definitely make it again and pass it on.
