Cinnamon Gems

I had dinner with Terese Engstrom who had come to town for a visit (and dinner with Mary Beth and Karis, Jill, Rose Lami).  Years ago she shared a recipe with me and at some point, I looked at her and thought...YOUR RECIPE.  It's a gem, it's a keeper, it's so easy and so much fun to eat.  How in the world did I forget about this recipe.  Took me a full day of panicky looking to find it, already on my computer recipe program. Whew!  Was so happy to find it.  Here's the recipe.....pix will be posted next time I made them again.  Immediately I made them and shared them.
