I made this pie with a few variations: I almost trippled the red hot candies, and I added a strusel topping of brown sugar, flour and butter. I did not add food coloring, it didn't need it as the pie came out very pink colored with just the red hots. My only problem with this pie was that it seemed more like chunky apple sauce in a crust then a pie. But the red hots were an interesting twist on the flavor.
