Side dish APPLES
5 pounds firm, unblemished apples, peeled, cored and cut into eighths. Place apples in an attractive pattern in a 9" X 13" baking dish. Pour Red Hot syrup over the apples. Gently turn them until all are coated with the syrup. Bake at 350 degrees for about 1 to 1 ½ hours until the apples are tender and slightly transparent. Check during the baking and turn apples as needed to have a uniform red color. Red Hot Syrup 8 oz. pkg. Red Hots® (also called Cinnamon Imperials®) 2 ½ cups granulated sugar ¾ cup water Mix all in a large microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 3 minutes and stir with a wooden spoon. Continue microwaving and stirring in 3 minute intervals until the red hots and sugar make a syrup. Remove from microwave and strain out any white "centers". Pour over the apples.
