These apple rings are great as a colorful addition to your Holiday table. For those of you who are a little aprehensive about using red food dye, see NOTE at end of recipe.

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 firm apples
2 cups pure cranberry juice
1/2 cup sugar, or honey
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
Juice and grated rind of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon each ginger and allspice
10 drops liquid red food coloring

Steps:

  • 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. Add apple slices and bring back up to a boil, cooking apples for 1 minute. 3 Remove pan from heat and let sit for a few minutes before transferring apples to a bowl with a tight-fitting lid 4 Strain liquid into container and make sure all apples are covered with liquid and cover tightly. 5 Allow to sit for at least 3 hours at room temperature before transferring to refrigerator to completely cool. 6 Continue to store apple rings in a covered container in refrigerator until ready to serve.
  • 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.

Categories     Desserts     Fruit Dessert Recipes     Apple Dessert Recipes

Time 1h15m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 teaspoons salt
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 ⅓ cups shortening
2 egg yolks, beaten
½ cup milk
10 apples - peeled, cored and sliced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups white sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 egg white

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 10x15 inch jellyroll pan or cookie sheet.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the salt and 4 cups flour. Cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Use a fork to stir in the egg yolks and milk just until dough comes together. On a lightly floured surface, roll out half of the dough to 1/8 inch thickness or until big enough to cover the bottom of the jellyroll pan with a little hanging over the sides.
  • Arrange the slices of apple to evenly cover the bottom crust. In a small bowl, stir together the 2 tablespoons of flour with the sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the apple slices. Roll out the remaining dough to cover the apple layer and pinch to seal to the bottom crust. Trim off excess crust and brush with egg white.
  • Bake for 40 to 45 minutes in the preheated oven, until apples are tender and crust is brown. If the crust begins to brown too much before the apples are done, cover with foil and continue baking. Cool before cutting into squares.
