This has been a family favorite for years and makes a colorful side dish on any holiday menu. Red Apples look pretty served in a cut-glass bowl. From the kitchen of Wanda Cupp Thornburg, Moberly MO. Ingredients:
1 cup sugar |
1/2 cup water |
1/3 cup red cinnamon candies (red hots) |
5 medium red apples, pared and sliced into six pieces |
Directions:
1. Bring the first three indgredients to a rapid boil in a large saucepan or dutch oven. Boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent boiling over, sticking, and to help melt the candies.
2. Reduce to a medium heat and place the apples (peeled side down) into the hot syrup. Cook until done or about 15 minutes. They will fork tender - don't overcook or you will have red applesauce! Cool and serve. We think they are best chilled overnight.
