Cinnamon Fruit Salad Under a Cloud of Meringue
"I am always trying to find ways to get more fruits and vegetables into my diet and my childrens' diet. This was a lovely dessert. I make it in 1 big bowl (much easier for a busy mom) but you could put it in 6 small ramekins for a prettier presentation. Adapted from a recipe in "Hey Mom! I'm Hungry!" by Susan Powter."

This was very easy to make and really good. I especially loved the bananas in this. The apples maintained their crunch and the cloud of meringue made this extra special. Thank you for sharing this recipe ladypit!
