Apple-Cheddar Bagels

Consider this delicious apple breakfast recipe a starting point for creativity. Add a light crunch by lightly frying the sage. Swap out the cinnamon bagel with a berry or plain bagel, or go savory by choosing an "everything" seasoning or onion bagel. If you don't have white cheddar, try Monterey Jack, smoked gouda, cheddar, or provolone cheese.
