Description
Red Hot Candy Cinnamon Apples – A quick baked apple side dish that can be served hot or cold.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 medium baking apples, halved vertically from top to bottom and cored (Use your favorite variety – Jonagold, and Gala are good choices)
- 2 Tablespoons of Red Hot candies or cinnamon imperial candies (affiliate link)
- Enough water to barely cover the bottom of the baking dish (1/2-3/4 cup)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Halve and core the apples and place them cut side down in the bottom of a glass 9 by 13 baking dish.
- Sprinkle Red Hots in the bottom of the dish around the apples.
- Add enough water to just barely cover the bottom of the dish with 1/4 inch of water. You don’t want to make a sauce and dilute the cinnamon candies.
- Bake uncovered for 45 minutes, or until apple skins are generously wrinkled and their flesh is soft enough to cut with a fork.
- Serve hot or cold as a side dish, or with ice cream or whipped cream as a dessert.
Notes
- Gluten-Free: These are gluten-free!
- Vegan/Vegetarian: These are likely not vegan/vegetarian because Red Hots contain confectioner’s glaze, a possibly non-vegetarian ingredient.
