Erica says
I make this recipe all the time, I love it! I have made a slight tweek to the recipe as written. Instead of dipping the pieces in butter and then transferring them to the cinnamon and sugars mixture, I toss the pieces in just the cinnamon and white sugar mixture and arrange it in the pan. I then melt the brown sugar and butter on the stove to a loose caramel and then pour over the pieces in the skillet. Bake as written. So good!
Heidi says
