Candied Apples - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 c. sugar
1/2 c. water
pinch of salt
6 to 8 apples
3/4 to 1 stick margarine or butter

Preparation

Cook water and sugar to a thick syrup.
Peel and quarter apples and put in pan.
Add pinch of salt; pour syrup over apples.
Slice margarine or butter over apples.
Add 1/4 cup of red cinnamon candy hearts before cooking.
This makes apples a pretty red color and adds flavor.
Cook on top of stove on medium-low until clear (20 to 35 minutes).
(Apples may be baked in a 350\u00b0 oven about 45 minutes, but tend to be slightly watery.)
Make in a 9 1/2-inch round pan. Serves 8.
