  Granny's Carmel Grits

1 cup heavy cream
2 cinnamon sticks
3 tablespoons sugar
¾ cup grits
3 Granny Smith apples
Brown sugar to taste
2 cups milk
½ teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon salt
caramel syrup
butter

Lightly oil six 1-cup ramekins and set aside. In heavy saucepan, stir together cream, milk, cinnamon, vanilla, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil and stir in grits. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until thick and creamy - about 25 minutes. Spoon into ramekins and smooth tops. Cover with Saran wrap and refrigerate overnight

Before serving, peel and slice apples. Sauté with butter and brown sugar until tender. Heat caramel syrup and grits in microwave. Unmold warm grits onto plate and top with syrup and apples and serve

• Sponges are the most primitive of animal groups. They live in water (usually saltwater), are sessile (do not move from place to place), and filter tiny organisms out of the water for food.
