How to Make Candy Apple Pie
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Prepare the apples: Peel, core, and slice 6 medium apples (about 6 cups sliced). Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup water, and 1 (8-ounce) package of cinnamon red hots candies. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly until candies are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Add the sliced apples to the saucepan. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring gently, until apples are slightly softened but still hold their shape.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup cold water and 2 tablespoons cornstarch until smooth. Slowly whisk the cornstarch slurry into the apple mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, until the filling thickens (about 1-2 minutes).
- Pour the apple filling into an unbaked 9-inch pie crust.
- Top with another 9-inch pie crust. Crimp edges to seal. Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with foil.
- Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
