Easy recipe for apple cinnamon atole to inspire you to create new traditions

Christmas is a very special time of the year, it is the time that invites you to share and think about those that have touched your life in a very special way. When I was young my mom and I were used to trim the Christmas tree together while sipping apple cinnamon atole, a comforting drink typical of the season and very common in my Mexican culture. It is served hot on a cold evening or for breakfast.

The tradition that my mom had to serve this atole was to use her best porcelain cups, those that only see the light when special visitors come. She would use those fancy cups to serve the apple cinnamon atole and we would enjoy it together while hearing Christmas songs with Perry Como, Bing Crosby, Andy Williams and the Carpenters. She really made me feel special!
