    The Restaurant

    Cracker Barrel is one of our favorite family restaurants. Our kids love walking into the country store and browsing all the fun toys, candy and seasonal items available.

    Cracker Barrel is a southern country themed restaurant with homecooked flair.

    Ingredients

    You only need five ingredients to make this recipe:

    • Apples
    • Apple Juice
    • Sugar
    • Cornstarch or arrowroot powder
    • Apple pie spice

    Preparing

    There are several easy ways to prepare this wonderful side dish or dessert!
