Adding fruit to a bagel adds fiber, vitamins, and nutrients plus using an apple adds a delightful crisp crunch. I love Honeycrisp apples for their taste and crisp crunch. This recipe calls for thin sliced Honeycrisp apples creating a tasty combination with the caramel in the cream cheese. It is delicious without the apple slices too.
Bagels are a popular breakfast food because they are so good, plus they are a satfisying and filling breakfast food. I hope you enjoy this recipe, it’s a favorite of mine.
