Known in our family as "Candied Apple Slices," these stovetop cinnamon apples are always a hit -- and there are never any leftovers! All you need are 4 simple ingredients to make one of the best side dishes of all time!

Provided by Sara Garska

Categories     Side Dish

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 Apples
1 cup water
1 cup white sugar
2 tsp cinnamon (as needed)

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan or deep skillet bring your water and sugar to a simmer while you prepare the apples.
  • Peel your apples. I cut the apples into four quarters and then remove the core. Then I cut each quarter into three or four slices.
  • Once the water is simmering, carefully add a single layer of apples to the water and sugar. You don't have to do too much to them after they are in the water.
  • Check at the 10 minute mark. You can turn the apple slices over if they aren't done yet.
  • After 15 or 20 minutes, the apple slices will look translucent and be cooked all the way through.
  • Lift them out of the sauce with a slotted spoon and put them in your serving dish.
  • Sprinkle with cinnamon.
  • Add another layer of apples to the water and sugar mixture and cook as before.
  • When these are done, lift them out with a slotted spoon and add to the apples in the serving dish.
  • Sprinkle cinnamon on the top.
  • Refrigerate any leftovers and enjoy later.

Tips:

  • Choose firm, tart apples for candying. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady apples are all good choices.
  • Use a candy thermometer to ensure the sugar syrup reaches the correct temperature. This will help prevent the apples from becoming too hard or too soft.
  • Be careful not to overcook the apples. They should be tender but still slightly firm.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the syrup by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the syrup forms a soft ball, it is ready.
  • Allow the apples to cool completely before serving. This will help the candy coating to harden.
  • Store the candied apples in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Cinnamon candied apples are a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a batch of candied apples that will be the hit of your next party or gathering.
