Time 40m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

8 large apples, firm, cored and peeled
1 1/2 cups water
9 ounces cinnamon red-hot candies

Steps:

  • Cut peeled & cored apples into wedges.
  • Place the apple wedges into a large enameled cast-iron pot or Dutch oven. Add water and cinnamon candies.
  • Over medium-high heat, bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
  • Reduce the heat to medium, stirring constantly until the candies have dissolved and apples are soft but not mushy. Continue to boil until 1/2 cup of the liquid remains. Taking care not to break up the apples. The more concentrated the liquid, the more intense the color and flavor of the apples.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: For this recipe, firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work best. They hold their shape well and can withstand the cooking process without becoming mushy.
  • Use a sharp knife: When slicing the apples, use a sharp knife to ensure clean, even slices. This will help the apples cook evenly and prevent them from breaking apart.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the apples, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and may cause them to steam rather than fry.
  • Cook the apples until they are tender: The apples should be cooked until they are tender but still hold their shape. Overcooking will make them mushy.
  • Add the cinnamon sugar mixture at the end: Adding the cinnamon sugar mixture at the end of the cooking process will help prevent it from burning. It will also allow the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

Candy cinnamon apples are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or as a simple dessert.
