Any flavor of bagels will work with this recipe.  If you are having trouble finding cinnamon bagels you can use regular bagels.  Cut the bagels in bite size pieces before toasting.  Coat the bagels with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon.  Toast in a 375 degree oven in a single layer on a baking sheet for about 10 minutes or until crispy.  Turn the pieces often during baking time to toast them evenly on all sides.  Allow the toasted bagels to cool completely before serving.
