We let folks sprinkle the nuts so they could have the amount they wanted. My husband put the pine nuts with a smidgen of olive oil and the cinnamon together in a fry pan and toasted them until fragrant. He said next time he'd toast the nuts a bit then add the oil and cinnamon at the end, he wanted the nuts little more toasted than they came out, it was just nitpicking though, I loved them. There were some leftover and I used them on salads at lunch. The cinnamon we have, by the way, is Vietnamese cinnamon "flakes" that we fresh grind, we are certified cinnamon snobs!
