Red Hot Cinnamon Apples

Step 1

Wash apples. Remove cores and peel if desired. Cut into your preferred shape. Rings, chunks or slices work.

In a large saucepan, dissolve the sugar in the water over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the prepared apples and red hot candies. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Drop the heat to medium-low and simmer until the apples are cooked to your preferred tenderness. Add a couple of drops of red food coloring if you would like a deeper red color.

Step 5

Allow to cool then serve or transfer to a storage container and refrigerate until ready to enjoy.

Step 6

The apples are great served warm or chilled as a side dish, snack or simple dessert.
