FESTIVE CANDIED APPLES 8 apples 1 bag candied red hots 1/2 c. sugar 1/4 c. water 1 lb. cream cheese, softened 1 c. broken walnuts, chopped Peel and core apples. Set aside. On medium heat, melt red hots and sugar with water. Stir to keep from sticking. Use large kettle/soup pot. When completely melted and bub- bling, place as many apples as you can in the kettle. Liquid will bubble and foam around apples. Cook until apples are bright red and fully cooked (turn if necessary). Apples should be easily pierced but not mushy when done. Take apples out with slotted apple and set side on platter. When all apples are done put in refrigerator to cool. Don't cover apples until they are cooled. Blend soft cream cheese and walnuts. With small spoon and clean fingers, fill cooled apples with generous amount of cheese filling. Arrange of platter with parsley and you're in heaven.
