1 tsp. cinnamon
Butter, maple syrup, powdered sugar

Directions:

User Reviews:

This was a pretty good recipe. It was hard to try and cut holes in the middle so I just spread the cream cheese between two slices of bread. I also would have done a raspberry syrup maybe instead of the raspberries inside, and top it all of with powdered sugar. That's the fun of cooking, you can take a good recipe and tweek it to make it yours!
