Ingredients

6 apples apples
0.5 cup packed brown sugar
0.33 cup cinnamon red hot candies
0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking pan for easy cleanup.
Carefully remove and set aside the tops of the apples. Then, remove most of the cores, leaving only about ½ inch at the bottom. Arrange the prepared apples in the greased baking pan.
In a small bowl, thoroughly combine brown sugar, cinnamon candies, and ground cinnamon. Generously fill each apple with this sweet and spicy mixture. Replace the apple tops and sprinkle any remaining mixture evenly over the apples.
Bake the apples uncovered in the preheated oven until they are perfectly tender, approximately 30 to 35 minutes. Serve warm and enjoy!
