Quote per Mama Halm: Red apples are one of the few things I don't have a recipe for but just guess at.
I usually use Jonathan apples. Peel & core.
For 4 or 5 apples, make a syrup using about 3/4 c sugar, cover with water and bring to a boil.
Add red hots. The packages we now get for a dime are about right.
After it boils awhile add the apples.
I usually add a little red food coloring.
Keep turning the apples so they will cook on both sides.
When they are good and done, take them out and let syrup cook down low and pour over apples.
If this isn't enough syrup then use 1 c sugar and cover with water. Maybe little more than cover.

So....on the scrap of paper I have with the recipe on it says a dime...$.10,
10 cents!, worth of red hots!
I have no idea when this recipe was written on the paper and I suspect it may have been originally Mama Liggett's recipe.
Make your best guess on how many red hots to use.
