Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 c water
3/4 c apple cider vinegar
3/4 c sugar
3/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp allspice
3-4 drops red food coloring, optional
3 slice lemon
3 large red cooking apples

Steps:

  • 1. In 12 inch skillet heat all ingredients except apples to boiling. Reduce heat, cover, and let simmer 5 minutes to blend flavors. Red food coloring is optional, but makes these very pretty.
  • 2. Meanwhile, core apples (but leave peel on) and slice into 1/4 inch thick rings. Cook half of rings at a time in liquid. Simmer until tender but FIRM, about 3-5 minutes. Dip out first half of apples rings and cook second half in same liquid.
  • 3. Discard lemon slices. Place all apple rings in a serving bowl and pour liquid over all. Cover and refrigerate for up to one week. Serve cold as a side dish or appetizer. Great with poultry or pork. Can also be used as a topping for ice cream.
  • 4. TO USE AS A GIFT: Arrange apple slices in a half-pint jar. Pour liquid over apples and place a lid on jar. Give with a card indicating that apples must be refrigerated and should be used within one week.
