How to Make Red Hot Apples

  1. Peel, core, and quarter 6 medium apples. (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp recommended)
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the quartered apples, cinnamon red hots, water, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves (if using).
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugars.
  4. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the liquid has thickened slightly. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. Remove from heat and let the apples cool in the syrup for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. The longer they sit, the better they taste!
  6. Serve the Red Hot Apples warm, at room temperature, or chilled. Enjoy!
