RED HOT APPLES

RED HOT APPLES
1 cup water
2 cups sugar
1/3 cup red hots (Be sure it is the old fashioned kind)
4-6 apples sliced
That is exactly how the recipe was given to me. So here is what you do:
Melt the red hots in hot water and sugar, then add the apple slices and
cook until they are, well if it was pasta I would say al dente. If they
aren't bright red, add food coloring. Bright red is part of the fun
