Oh yeah we dumped a bunch on as we ate it. The recipe had cinnamon in it but boy oh boy not near enough!

Depends on the cinnamon. I always thought cinnamon was cinnamon. McCormicks from the grocery store. Until .... the mother of a friend of DD1's (who we were visiting in Illinois) took me to a spice store. They had 8 or 10 different cinnamons if I recall. I do recall that after smelling all of them I couldn't tell them apart any more. Vietnamese is much more potent than the usual grocery store stuff.

This was Saigon cinnamon from Costco. We both love cinnamon and think this one is pretty weak. Also it was a new recipe for me. I had never actually made a recipe called pie filling. Always just put the apples and cinnamon, sugar etc into a pie crust. Using clear jel made it look kind of cool but tastes more like McDonald’s apple pies. So now that I have only 14 jars left I’ll have to remember to add some lemon juice and I could order some perkier cinnamon.

Thanks for letting me know. I was asking because I have a good recipe for Spanish paella. I thought you would be interested if you were into European cuisine.

Ooo yes!! I love to get it ! If you are willing to share it

Yeah, that's the stuff I buy. (It's cheap.) When I put it on/in things, I use a LOT.

I want to visit a spice store we've been to before, but not for a few years. I'd like to try different cinnamons. I'd fall in love with the most exspensive one, I'm sure.
