Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 5

ORIGINAL RECIPE:
1/2 c granulated sugar
1/4 c cinnamon red hots (candy)
1 c water
4 large roman beauty apples or your favorite

Steps:

1. Peel and core apples. Set aside. In a saucepan combine remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil and stir until candies are dissolved; add the apples slowly, one at a time. Cook them gently until they are tender. Test with a fork. Remove from the syrup, Fill the hollows with blanched almonds or other nut meats, and raisins are optional. --- Note: Boil the syrup until it falls heavily from a spoon. Pour over the apples. Chill. --- My version: Glazed Apples 1 cup sugar 1 cup water 2 Tablespoons cinnamon candies 3 oz. package strawberry jellO 10 of your favorite apples, peel and slice --- Combine and bring ingredients, except apples, to a boil. Stir until cinnamon and jello are dissolved. Peel the apples, core, and cut into wedges. Butter or spray a 9x13-inch baking dish- place apple slices or wedges in dish. Pour hot mixture over apples, bake in 350^ oven until apples are fork tender, about 35 minutes. This can be served warm or cold for dessert. I like to sprinkle chopped walnuts and golden raisins over top with a nice scoop of vanilla bean ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. --- Note: This mixture works good as a dump cake too. Sprinkle dry white or yellow cake mix over apple mixture in pan then pour 1/4 cup of melted butter over top. and bake as directed above. This is real good like this. I have even made it with pineapple cake mix and nuts and butter on top.
