Cinnamon Applesauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup water
1/4 cup red cinnamon candies
8 large apples, peeled, cored and sliced (tart apples are preferred)
1/2 cup water
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup hot-tamale jelly beans
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Preparation

In a small saucepan, add 1 cup water and cinnamon candies; bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer for about 5 to 6 minutes or until candies are dissolved.
In a large saucepan or cooking pot, add apples and the dissolved candy mixture along with the additional 1/2 cup of water.
Cook until apples are soft; mash apples.
Now add 1 cup sugar, hot-tamale jelly beans and continue to simmer until most of the tamale beans are dissolved, about 10 minutes.
Some of the jelly beans will not be dissolved and this is okay, they will be light in color.
Serve hot or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Serve with ice cream, whipping cream or whipped cream or serve as is.
The apple sauce has a vary light touch of a cinnamon\"spicy\" taste.
You may adjust to your taste by adding more cinnamon candies or using less.
If you desire to have the sauce spicier, just add a few more cinnamon candies and a small amount of water to a small saucepan and dissolve.
Add to applesauce and mix well.
