Chloe's Red Hot Applesauce

Ingredients:

1/4 cup water

4 tart apples

1 bottle of red hots (can substitute with cinnamon to make traditional applesauce)

Directions:

Wash and peel apples.

Slice apples into quarters and then each quarter into two or three more pieces and place in a saucepan.

Add water and cover the pan, cook apples on low-medium heat until tender.

Remove apples from heat and add redhots.

Beat applesauce with a spoon until redhots dissolve.

Serve hot or cold.

My grandma’s red hot applesauce has been a tradition in my family for decades. It’s a simple dessert - just applesauce and cinnamon candy - but it’s sweet and warms our hearts every holiday. This vintage recipe is the closest I could find to grandma’s without revealing our family recipe secrets.
