This was a hit at dinner. It makes a nice refreshing dessert or side dish. And it is so easy to put together with a lot of flavor. I used a Red Delicious apple and a 20 oz can of crushed pineapple (grabbed the wrong can :( at the grocery). We did think the cinnamon flavor was quite strong and could probably be reduced by 1/2. I only used 2 Tbsp of pineapple juice. Thanks.

Wow! This was great! A little unexpected, because it looked a little pasty at first. But it tastes great! Big hit at my office party.
