How to Make Candied Apple Pie

In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup water, and 12 red hots candies.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until the candies are completely dissolved.
Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the apples are coated in a vibrant red glaze and slightly softened.
Remove apples from the saucepan and set aside. Strain the remaining liquid through a fine-mesh sieve, reserving 1/2 cup of the candied juice.
In a small bowl, whisk together the 1/2 cup of reserved candied juice and 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour until smooth.
Gently place the candied apples into your prepared 9-inch pie crust.
Pour the juice and flour mixture evenly over the apples.
Carefully place the top crust over the apples, crimping the edges to seal.
Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
Brush the top crust with a little of the remaining candied juice and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar.
Bake in a preheated oven at 450°F (232°C) for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°F (177°C) and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
