This applesauce is reminiscent of my childhood. When I’d asked my mom how many red hots grandma used to make it, she couldn’t tell me so off to Google I went. Sometimes in my child brain, I’m surprised to find recipes like this only because I’d never had it anywhere other than grandma’s house, but alas.

Ingredients:

6 large apples, cored & cut into bite sized chunks. *You can peel, if desired.

1 cup water

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/3 cup Red Hot candies

Preparation:

In a large saucepan, over medium-high heat, add apple chunks & water. Cover and cook 10-15 minutes; stirring every 5 minutes.

Using an immersion blender, food processor, or blender, process until smooth. Return to the pan & add the sugar and Red Hots & cook until candies have dissolved. Allow to cool.

Enjoy!
