    • lemon juice
    • water
    • cinnamon candy

    How to Make Spiced Apple Rings

    • Add the lemon juice to 2 cups of water.
    • Peel and core apples.  Slice each apple into ½ inch thick rings.
    • Place the apple rings into the lemon water mixture as soon as they’re sliced.
    • Heat ½ cup of the remaining water and the cinnamon candies in a saucepan.
    • Stir often until the candy is completely melted, adding water as needed to keep the syrup from getting too thick.
    • Add the whole cloves and cinnamon sticks.
    • Drain the apple rings and pat them dry with paper towels.
    • Gently stir the apple rings into the syrup.
    • Cover and simmer, stirring gently and occasionally for about 15 minutes until the apples are tender.
    • Add the rings to an airtight container and cover with the cooking syrup.
    • Cover tightly and refrigerate overnight, or about 8 hours. Discard the cloves and cinnamon sticks and serve the apple rings with meat or for dessert..

    How Do You Cut Apples Into Rings?

    Place the apple on a cutting board and remove a thin slice from the top and bottom. Carefully remove the core, keeping the apples intact. Peel and then cut each apple into 3 or 4 thick horizontal slices. 

    Tips and Tricks

    • Use apples with firm flesh like Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, or Macintosh. Firm pears can be used as well. 
    • Carefully melt the cinnamon candies and keep an eye on them so they don’t burn. 
    • If you’re baking a ham or a pork roast, use toothpicks to attach the apple rings to the meat.

    How to Prevent Cut Apples From Turning Brown

    To keep the apples from turning brown, place them in a mixture of lemon juice and water for a few minutes. The great thing about this recipe is the apples turn a gorgeous red color because of the cinnamon candy which hides brown spots.
