Learn how to can these retro Red Hot Cinnamon Apples and impress all your friends!

Red Hot Cinnamon Apples

  I was drawn to this recipe in the Ball Canning Book because it seems like a quirky, retro dish that my grandma would have made. Also, I have gallons of apples waiting to be preserved from our tree so new recipes are always welcomed this time of year! If you’ve never tried them, they taste like a cinnamon-y sweet apple pickle. Sounds weird, but they’re good!

    My mom used to make these. I like them best is the apples are cut pretty thing (same with fried apples). She used lemon to keep apples from oxedation while in the process --- do you know if Fruit Fresh works better? Can't make this - was looking for a version made with Splenda (yeah, I know, not the healthiest but for a borderline diabetic, neither is sugar. Low and behold I run into a post by my niece! Have a happy Thanksgiving, if you read this in time and be nice to my kids and grandkids. They need it. BTW, we got to eat these once in the fall and then they went onto the basement pantry shelves and we ate the in summer when other apples were expensive and out of season. My mom made the best apple pie I've ever eaten! I can make the apple part but I've never been good at pie dough. She said I overworked it but never got the knack of blending it just right. I have a great pumpkin pie recipe, too, should you ever want to try it.

    I made this, so good, but I forgot to add the vinegar. Do you think it will still be shelf stable? Will it affect the shelf life?
