This is also one of my favorites! Great for Valentine's day!
1 1/2 cups sugar, plus more for topping 1 1/2 cups water 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus more for topping 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 20 Red Hot candies 1 tablespoon butter, plus more for topping 2 9" unbaked refrigerated pie crusts 6 Granny Smith apples, peeled and cored Vanilla ice cream, optional
1. Preheat oven to 450 F. 2. In a medium-sized saucepan, mix sugar, water, cinnamon, nutmeg and Red Hots. 3. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat to create a hot syrup. Then, immediately take off the heat and add butter. Mix well until all candies are dissolved. 4. Cut each pie crust into three wedges and wrap them around the apples, leaving the hollowed part of the apple exposed. Place apples in a greased 9”x13” baking dish. 5. Sprinkle a little sugar and cinnamon on top and place a dab of butter into the hole of each apple. Pour the hot syrup over the apples. 6. Bake for about 50 minutes, basting with the hot syrup every 15 minutes or so. If liquid begins to get too thick, add a little water to thin. Serve warm apples topped with vanilla ice cream. Sprinkle a few Red Hot candies on the plate for garnish. Enjoy!
