CINNAMON RED HOT APPLE PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Roll out half of pie crust pastry and place into a 9-inch pie plate, trimming edges even with pie plate.
• In small saucepan over low heat, heat lemon juice and cinnamon candies until candies melt. Remove saucepan from heat and stir in honey and cinnamon. Arrange apples in crust and pour the honey mixture over apples; dot with butter.
• Roll out remaining dough. Moisten edges of bottom crust with a little water, then lift top crust onto filled pie plate. Trim pastry edge, leaving a 1-1/2 inch overhang. Fold top edge under bottom crust; flute edge as desired. Cut slits or design in top crust to allow steam to escape while baking. Brush top crust with milk.
• Turn oven down to 350 degrees and bake for 1 hour or until crust is golden brown. Cool and serve.

CINNAMON RED HOT APPLE PIE

Steps:

• 1. Mix apples, sugar and flour. Roll out half of dough; fit into 9-inch pie pan, allowing dough to overlap edges by an inch or so. Turn apple mixture into pastry. Dot with butter and red cinnamon candies. Drizzle on lemon juice.
• 2. If desired roll out remaining dough and cut 1/2-inch strips with pastry wheel. Lay lattice strips across top, weaving over and under if desired. Fold bottom pastry over strips and crimp edges to seal. If you do not wish to make a lattice top crust you may use a standard top pie crust but be sure to make cut outs or large slits in this crust to allow steam to escape while baking.
• 3. Bake at 425 degrees for 45 minutes, or until apples are tender.
