Cooking Instructions
1. Bring the water and milk to a boil in the top of a double boiler, then stir in the hominy and add a dash of salt. Cook on top of the double boiler, stirring constantly, until the grits thicken, about five minutes. (If not using a double boiler, cook in a saucepan over very low heat for about the same amount of time.)
2. Cover, and cook until the grits are tender about one hour. (If the grits get too thick, just add water to thin them.) Stir in the butter, apple, and cinnamon. Sprinkle with brown sugar.
Serve hot.
