[RECIPE] Apple Cinnamon Crunch
submitted over 9 years ago by afflaq

Suppose I've contributed with software some, guess I'll throw out one of my favorite recipes as well.

**Apple Cinnamon Crunch **

Ingredient|% :---|---: FLV Crunch Cereal|3 Fuji Apple (FA)|1.25 Apple Pie (TPA)|1.75 Cream Fresh (FA)|1.5 FLV Milk and Honey|1.25 Meringue (FA)|1

Flavor total: 9.5%

Notes

My goal here was something reminiscent of Apple Jacks and Cap'n Crunch mixed together. I always love absolutely destroying the roof of my mouth but missed the apple flavor that I get from doing it, so when I was a kid I used to take the two and mix them together, you know, the whole pleasure and pain thing.

The main note here should be (in my opinion and taste) the crunch cereal, with the apple coming through a little less prominently.

This is named Apple Cinnamon Crunch and not Cinnamon Apple Crunch for a reason, I wanted the apple to be more prominent than the cinnamon, so I decided on a relatively low percentage of TFA Apple Pie combined with the Fuji to bump up and brighten the apple some. These go great together to give me the apple jacks level of apple cinnamon that I was going for.

I'm a big fan of FLV Milk + Honey combined with Meringue and Cream Fresh for a cereal milk base, and it works really well here with the crunchiness of the cereal.

Really smooth imo, but of course YMMV. Good as a shake and vape but gets better after a week or so of steeping, as I feel like the apple comes through and the milk base comes together a bit more.

If you want it to disappear even faster after you've gone through your first 3-4ml of it, add 4% FDA to the mix and it should be gone by August at the latest.

Hope you enjoy and don't hate it and me!

shrug i'm not being fecetious or anything, I'm serious at least, can't speak for others. I design software full-time and have to listen to feedback and criticism all the time, so for me it's nothing new. Taste is so subjective that I'm always interested in what others think, if nothing more than for educational value. I learned a long time ago that there will be people that love and hate almost every recipe, so I won't get my feelings hurt either way =)

I mixed up a sample 10ML. It smells awesome.

For some reason my taste buds don't get along with Crunch Cereal for some reason. I'll hold complete judgement till after it steeps.

No FLV flavors here, but sounds good. I looked 5 times trying to figure out where the hell the cinnamon was coming through. Then I saw Apple Pie.

lol sorry about that! To me cinnamon comes through really strong with the apple pie, so it works well in low percentages for me in something like this.

Botboy has some decent notes somewhere on the differences between TFA and FA -- I'd imagine that you could substitute relatively easy, I think that the big difference is one is more of a crust flavor and the other is more of a cookie flavor. They both have plenty of cinnamon for my taste in this recipe though I'd imagine. The apple pie is really to add a bit of cinnamon along with some good apple. shrug you could probably even get away with going Fuji + cinnamon in some capacity.

Probably would have to add some Joy, Pie Crust, or Cookie if you went that route. Now were onto a whole new recipe.

Looks very interesting... I'm still a fan of the cereal liquids for sure. I haven't tried FLV Milk and Honey as part of a cereal milk base before, but feel like it'd be a good idea. Going to mix this soon... thanks!

Well, it looks like I'm buying Milk + Honey this week...

definitely wont regret that purchase. It's awesome for me. I would describe it as a burnt-end cookie crunch

I dislike it . For some reason I get a funky Choc type taste from it

Most people do. I like it though.

Yep, looks good. I'm a big fan of the Milk and Honey + Cream Fresh as well. That particular combo also works well with a touch of FLV Choc Deutsche.

Hey look at that, I actually have all these. I'll try to get this mixed up tonight. Looks pretty good, I'm excited to check it out. You have any experience with FLV Cream?

It's on my short list of FLV flavors to work with soon, but I haven't yet. I'm a big fan of FLVs flavors, but haven't tried all of them.

Right on, only reason I bring it up is because I've recently started using that in place of FA Fresh Cream in my recipes and have been digging it, and it pairs pretty darn well with FLV Milk & Honey.

I mixed it just now, and I WILL report back, lol.

With the Cinnamon coming from the Apple Pie, I'm already wondering if Rich Cinnamon might fit good in this. Anyway, I'll try it and see. Crunch Cereal has been pretty hit and miss for me, has an odd taste it's hard to define.

After an overnight sit it is good, however as I thought the Crunch Cereal is just off putting. It makes me sad because everyone describes this as a great flavor, but it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I am going to let it sit another week at least and see what happens after that.
