I have been stalking the shelves of my local grocery store ever since I discovered that Chex cereals had introduced a new gluten-free flavor – Apple Cinnamon. I am a fan of all things Chex, so I was very excited to try the new variety! I wasn’t able to find the cereal in my local stores, so I ordered a box online.
The apple cinnamon variety joins five other gluten-free varieties of Chex cereals. Some more information on Chex:

I should have started a timer from the time the Apple Cinnamon Chex entered my house until the time I broke down and opened the box. I was nowhere near hungry, but how could I not just grab a handful to see what was waiting inside? Then I could brainstorm about what I would make for breakfast tomorrow using the cereal. I was not disappointed! I loved every bite of this cereal! It reminds me a lot of cinnamon toast with a hint of apple. Hot cinnamon apples is one of my favorite fall toppings for waffles or oatmeal, so this was kind of like a cereal version. I can see this cereal being a wonderful addition to plain Greek yogurt, crushed up and used as breading for French toast or in a Chex mix of the caramel apple variety. I found a recipe for a Caramel Crispy Chex Mix that calls for rice and corn Chex. Sub the new Apple Cinnamon Chex in place of the rice or corn and cut back a bit on the sugar that is called for in the recipe. These Apple Almond Bars also sound like they would be fantastic with the new cereal.
