I served these fun appetizers for the first time on Thanksgiving. My family asked me to make them several times after that, so the tasty little bites made an appearance on my Christmas spread that year, too. We love them so much they've become a holiday tradition. -Tracy Burdo, Burlington, Vermont

CANDY APPLES
Traditional candy apples are dipped in a vibrant syrup that's tinted red. This version skips the food coloring, and instead infuses the candy coating with cinnamon and vanilla. If you're worried about your teeth, serve these by slicing them, rather than trying to take a bite, as the candy coating sets to be quite firm. Be sure to start with room temperature apples as cold apples will cause the candy mixture to harden too quickly making it difficult to work with.

Steps:
- Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or a piece of lightly greased parchment paper. Place the apples onto the prepared baking sheet, and press a treat stick firmly into the stem end, into the center of each apple.
- In a medium pot, combine the sugar, corn syrup, 1/2 cup water, vanilla bean seeds (discard the pod) or extract, cinnamon and salt. Stir the mixture over medium heat until the mixture begins to bubble at the edges, about 5 minutes - once it begins to bubble, stop stirring.
- Cook the mixture (without stirring) until it reads 300 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, about another 10 to 15 minutes. Leave the syrup mixture in the pot, and cool to 275 degrees. (The mixture will cool quickly; if it cools too much, it can be reheated until fluid.)
- Working quickly, dip 3/4 of an apple into the sugar syrup, tilting the pot as needed to coat. Hold the apple over the sugar syrup, letting the excess drip off, then transfer to the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining apples, reheating the sugar syrup as necessary. Cool completely before serving.

Here's one for the grill. They can be baked in the oven too but I haven't tried them that way so I can't recommend a temperature or time. The recipe comes from Marlboro.

Tips:
- Choose the right apples: Use firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp. These apples hold their shape well and won't turn to mush when baked.
- Peel and core the apples evenly: This will help the apples cook evenly. Use a sharp knife and a coring tool to make this task easier.
- Stuff the apples tightly: Don't be afraid to pack the apples tightly with the filling. This will help keep the apples from falling apart when baked.
- Bake the apples until they are tender: The apples should be tender when pierced with a fork, but not so soft that they fall apart. The baking time will vary depending on the size of the apples and the type of filling used.
- Serve the apples warm or cold: Apple cannonballs can be served warm or cold. If you are serving them warm, top them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. If you are serving them cold, chill them in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
