1/4 cup red hots (cinnamon candy)

Place all ingredients in a pan. Cook on low to medium heat for about 15 minutes or until tender.

When I make this recipe, I use whatever apples I have on hand but baking apples and Gala apples work best.

Here is a different twist on this recipe. Red Hot Apples are great for tailgating or for any time you are doing winter grilling.

Apples
Red hot candies
Brown sugar

Core your apples, leaving the apple whole as you would for baking. Set each apple on a square of foil. In the center of each apple, place a tablespoon of brown sugar and one of the candies. Pull up foil around the apple and seal tightly. Place on the grill over medium heat for 30 minutes, until tender. Be careful when you open them because they will have a lot of juice!
