Original red hots were a small, round, cinnamon candy my sisters and I bought from the corner candy store growing up. This recipe reminds me of those.
If you are not avoiding carbs., these can be made sweeter with brown sugar. If you are not vegetarian, these can be made more savory baked or served with turkey sausage. This recipe works with most apple varieties.

I have baked this with added cranberries, yum. I also tried peaches and pears as the main fruits. I like it with peaches. I did not like pears. They seemed too sweet, and not enough of their flavor broke through the spices.
