• 1 Slice apples into 1/4­-inch thick slices, leaving peel intact. Core and set aside. 2 Bring the remainder of ingredients to a bowl in a large skillet over high heat.

• 1 The easiest way to core a sliced apple is to find a plastic, twist top from a soda bottle and firmly press it around the core of each slice.
• 1 If desired, omit the red food coloring and add 1/2 cup red hot cinnamon candies to the liquid when beginning the recipe. Make sure they are completely melted before adding apples. Heck, throw a handful in the above recipe for a little more spice.
