Note
For best results, use a conventional oven rather than a microwave to ensure the bagel stays crisp and the cheese melts evenly.
Apple slices should be thin to ensure they warm through without becoming soggy.
This recipe is flexible; feel free to adjust the amount of cinnamon to your taste preference.
Serve immediately while hot for the best texture contrast.
