Ingredients
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 cup cinnamon candies (recommended: Red Hots)
- 6 small red apples
- Cream Cheese Topping, recipe follows
- Freshly parsley or mint leaves, for garnish
Directions
In a medium nonstick pan, dissolve the cinnamon candies in water over low heat. Peel, core and cut the apples in 1/2 lengthwise. Once the candy has dissolved arrange the apples, flat side down, in the pan. Cook on low to medium heat until the apples are tender; turning often, about for about 45 minutes. The apples should be the color of the candy. When ready transfer to a serving platter and let cool.
Once apples have cooled dollop 1 teaspoon of the Cream Cheese Topping on each apple. Garnish with a small piece of fresh parsley or a fresh mint leaf. Refrigerate until serving.

Oh Oh so good! it's not too sweet and it was easy to make. Will make again. It's nice to find interesting recipes for apples besides apple pies. Everyone must try this delicious candied apple

I did not like the cream cheese. It seemed a bit too far from a candy apple to me and more like a candy salad

It was a very sweet red apple with a soft center. It made the whole house smell good, I thought it was great.
