Kraft Kitchens Tips

How to Toast Nuts
Toasting nuts adds crunch and intensifies their flavor. To toast nuts in the microwave, place up to 1 cup nuts in microwaveable shallow dish. Microwave on HIGH until fragrant and crisp, stirring every 30 sec.
 
Substitute
Use apple juice instead of apple cider.
