Red Hot Applesauce

I love applesauce. It's a delicious and healthy snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. But sometimes, I get tired of the same old plain applesauce. That's why I love making red hot applesauce. It's a fun and flavorful twist on a classic dish.

Red hot applesauce is made with apples, red hot candies, and a touch of cinnamon. The red hot candies add a sweet and spicy flavor to the applesauce, while the cinnamon gives it a warm and comforting aroma.

This applesauce is so easy to make, and it's perfect for a quick snack or dessert. It's also great for potlucks or picnics. So next time you're looking for a delicious and healthy treat, give this red hot applesauce a try.

• 1/2 cup water

• 1/2 cup red hot candies

• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions:

1. In a large saucepan, combine the apples, water, red hot candies, and cinnamon.

2. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the apples are soft.

3. Use an immersion blender or food processor to puree the applesauce until smooth.

Here are some additional tips and tricks for making the best red hot applesauce:

• Use a variety of apples. The different apples will add different textures and flavors to the applesauce.

• Don't overcook the apples. Overcooked apples will be mushy and unpleasant.

• Drain and rinse the apples well. This will remove any excess water or starch.

• Add your favorite toppings. I like to add chopped nuts, granola, or yogurt.

• Serve the applesauce warm or chilled.

Red hot applesauce is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It is the perfect dish for a casual weeknight snack or a special occasion dessert. So next time you're looking for a delicious and healthy treat, give this red hot applesauce a try. You won't be disappointed!

Here is a fun story about red hot applesauce:

When I was a kid, I used to love making red hot applesauce. I would gather up all of my favorite ingredients, and then I would get to work. I would peel and core the apples, and then I would slice them into small pieces. I would add the apples to a saucepan with some water, and then I would bring the mixture to a boil. Once the apples were soft, I would use an immersion blender to puree them until smooth. Finally, I would add the red hot candies and cinnamon, and I would stir until everything was combined.

I loved the sweet and spicy flavor of the red hot applesauce. It was the perfect snack for a cold winter day. I would often eat it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and it was always a hit.

I still make red hot applesauce today, and I still love it just as much as I did when I was a kid. It's a delicious and easy way to enjoy the flavors of fall. So next time you're looking for a sweet and spicy snack, give red hot applesauce a try. You won't be disappointed!
