RED-HOT APPLES

I use Red Hots candies to turn ordinary apples into something cinnamony and sensational. The tender treats bake on the grill during dinner. Then just serve in bowls and top with ice cream.

4 medium tart apples, cored

4 teaspoons brown sugar

1/4 cup Red Hots

1. Place each apple on a double thickness of heavy-duty foil (12 in. square). Spoon 1 teaspoon sugar and 1 tablespoon Red Hots into the center of each apple. Fold foil around apples and seal tightly.
