The area where we live used to be an apple orchard, so we and our neighbors have apple trees in our yards. I received this recipe from my sister more than 25 years ago, and it's still popular in our family.

Ingredients

3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons red cinnamon candies
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
4-1/2 cup thinly sliced peeled tart apples
Pastry for double-crust pie (9 inches)

Directions

In a bowl, combine first six ingredients. Add apples and stir gently to mix. Pour into a pastry-lined pie plate. Roll out remaining pastry to fit top of pie. Cut slits in top crust; place over apples. Seal and flute edges.
Bake at 400° for 50 minutes or until pastry is golden and apples are tender.

One of my favorites. I always double the filling and put in my deep dish pie. It's great!

I thought this would have more of the taste of the red hots. It didn't, but it was very tasty and a little different.
