STUFFED APPLES
| 2 C. sugar | 9 1/2 oz. cinnamon candy (red hots) |
| 1 1/2 C. water | 8 Red Delicious apples |
Peel and core apples; make syrup of water and sugar. Add cinnamon candy and continue cooking until candy melts. You may add red food coloring. Cook 4 apples at a time by placing them in syrup and turning constantly until tender and red colored. (Check tenderness with toothpick -- easy to overcook). Cover and chill overnight.
| Stuffing: | |
| 1 8-oz. pkg. cream cheese | 11/2 C. chopped pecans |
| 2 1/2T. mayonnaise | 8 whole cloves, for garnish |
| 2 T. milk | Green gumdrops, for garnish |
Cream the cheese, mayonnaise and milk;
add nuts. Fill center of apples, rounding mixtures on top.
Roll out green gumdrops, shape or cut into pattern of
apple leaves. Add 1 clove and 1 or 2 gumdrop leaves to top of each apple to
look like a stem and leaves. Remove cloves before eating. Serves 8.
This is pretty and different. Can also be used as a
dessert if you add 1/4 cup ~onfectioner's sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla to
stuffing mixture.
