Crushed up pretzels are great on baked apples, leave the pieces big enough that they are still identifiable as pretzels. I didn't have nuts in the recipe just the apples, raisins, spices and muscato instead of rum/brandy. I put the pretzels on after baking them, not before. Now I want to try an apple crisp substituting crushed pretzels for part of the oats, or maybe even all....
