Cinnamon Apple Rings

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.
