- Sprinkle Lavash: Generously sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the buttered lavash. (You may have some leftover cinnamon sugar; save it for another use.)
- Bake: Place the lavash on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 3-5 minutes or until it turns golden brown.

Serving and storing
Cinnamon Sugar Crackers are perfect for different occasions, whether as a quick snack, an after-school treat, or even at a party. It’s also important to store them properly to keep them fresh and tasty.
Enjoying your crackers
When it’s time to enjoy cinnamon sugar crackers, there are so many ways to do so. They make for a great after-school snack. My family loves them as a light dessert after dinner, accompanied by a glass of milk or hot cocoa.
These crackers can also be served at parties as appetizers. Arrange them on a platter with some sliced fruits or a bowl of yogurt for dipping. You’ll find that the combination is hard to resist.
If you’re health-conscious, you’ll be pleased to know that these crackers contain a good mix of carbohydrates, some fiber, and protein. That makes them not only delicious but also a somewhat nutritious snack.
Storage tips
Proper storage is key to keeping your homemade crackers fresh and crunchy. I always store them in an airtight container to prevent them from going stale. Place the container in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight.
It’s also a good idea to mark the container with the date you made them. While the crackers can last for up to a week, they’re best enjoyed within the first couple of days.
If you’re worried about nutrition or have dietary concerns, keeping a note of the ingredients and their shelf life can also help manage intake, particularly for calories, fat, cholesterol, and sodium.
