These were fun to make and they taste good! I purchased Hot Tamales from my market's bulk bin since I needed such a small quantity and they did not have Red Hots. I did have to remove the Hot Tamales gelatinous center after the cinnamon coating wore off. Yum!

These were easy and delicious! A new favorite. I substituted Splenda or the sugar.

My mother's recipe. Glad she could share it with everyone. We always had it on the holidays.

This is a wonderfully colorful recipe. I enjoy a little different version on my holiday table. Instead of slicing the apples, I cut them in rings. After cooking I chill the rings thoroughly. To serve: on small salad plates place some leafy green lettuce leaves, put an apple ring on top and place a tablespoon or so of crushed, well drained pineapple in the center of the ring. Makes a very pretty and festive dish at each place setting.

These turned out better than I had thought they would. Kids absolutely LOVED them. I didn't have the full 8 apples...but I still used the same amount of red hots. They were red (not pink) in color and took less time to cook in the microwave. I could only eat a few pieces as they were VERY sweet. Next time I might omit (or at least lessen) the amount of sugar. Thanks!!!

They look pretty and are very easy, but I had to buy "red imperials" instead of Red Hots and the taste was not as hot and spicy with those candies. I would definitely try to find "Red Hots" to make this recipe.

Great recipe. Luckily I found some red hots during the summer. These apples were tasty and the next door kids went wild over them.

I was looking for a spiced apple recipe for Thanksgiving. When I was little we used to buy jarred spiced apple slices. I missed them. This isn't the same, but they are quite good and easy to make. I always end up having them for breakfast during the days after Thanksgiving.
