Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice, fresh squeezed
  • 2 pounds firm-fleshed apples (MacIntosh, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp)
  • 3 cups water, divided use
  • 2 cups Red Hots cinnamon candies
  • 1 tablespoon whole cloves
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Add the lemon juice to 2 cups of water.

  • Step 2: Peel and core apples - slice into ½ inch thick rings. Drop the apple rings in the lemon water as you go.

  • Step 3: Heat 1/2 cup of the remaining water and the cinnamon candies in a saucepan. Stir often until the candy is completely melted, adding water as needed to keep the syrup from getting thick. Watch them carefully, so they don't stick and burn.

  • Step 4: Add the whole cloves and cinnamon sticks to the melted candy. Stir.

  • Step 5: Drain the apple rings and pat dry. Gently stir them into the syrup. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until apples are tender - about 15 minutes.

  • Step 6: Gently transfer the apple rings to a GLASS container (don't use plastic!), and cover with the syrup.

  • Step 7: Cover tightly and refrigerate overnight. Remove the cloves and cinnamon sticks before using.

  • Step 8: These will keep, refrigerated, for a week.
