Cinnamon Apples

Instructions

Combine sugar, candies and water in a 2 1/2-quart saucepan. Stir over high heat to dissolve sugar and candies. Reduce heat. Add peeled, cored and thickly sliced apple rings. Simmer covered, stirring occasionally, until apples are just tender but not mushy – about 10 minutes. With slotted spoon, remove apples to a large bowl. Bring cinnamon syrup to boiling and boil uncovered until thick – about 5 minutes or until mixture reaches 220 degrees on candy thermometer. Pour syrup over apples and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
