This used to make a regular appearance on the supper table when I was growing up.
Raise your hand if you like Red Hots mixed in your applesauce. {Raises hand, and jumps up and down}
Hope you’re having a great weekend!

Wow, I’ve never even heard of doing that, but man, it sounds good!
Tiffany, I meant to share this the other day when you asked for apple recipes. It’s a recipe I found on the Kraft Foods website about 7 years ago, and have made a million times. It’s SO easy and SO yummy!

Cinnamon Apple Snack Cake
-1 cup sugar
-1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
-3 eggs
-28 squares cinnamon graham crackers, finely crushed (about 2 cups crumbs)
-1 medium apple, peeled, cored and diced
-3/4 cup walnuts, chopped
-powdered sugar
Blend sugar, butter and eggs in a bowl with a spoon. Stir in graham cracker crumbs, apple and walnuts until blended.
Spread batter into greased 8x8x2-inch baking pan.
Bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes or until firm to the touch. Cool completely in pan on wire rack. Cut into squares and sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.

This recipe is so incredibly easy, I used to make it with my son and nieces when they were very young. They used to love when I’d put the graham crackers in a big ziplock bag, and let them go to town crushing them! Now that they’re all grown up, I use my food processor to get a nice, even crumb. I’ve also made this with plain graham crackers, which was just as yummy, or plain crackers with a tsp of cinnamon added to the batter. There’s no ‘wrong’ way to make it! 🙂
ChiTown Girl, thanks for the recipe. that sounds really good!
I remember it as a treat/dessert but not here – neither applesauce nor red hots are available. Tickled a friend when I went to visit and I bought applesauce with cinnamon to eat during the week. Had forgotten red hots 🙂 Thanks for the reminder.
Just stopping by to say that I gave you a blog award. Check it at Around My Family Table
Have a great day!
Ok, my kids really want to try that!
I used to love red hots–can’t wait to try it and see how it tastes!
Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Can’t find the recipe for the red hot applesauce
I don’t think I ever had an actual recipe on this old post. But to make it, just stir a few red hots into some applesauce.
Does it need to be heated to melt the red hots
I remember my mom making red hot and apple sauce. It was sure delicious ! Wish I had some now.
A day or so before CHRISTMAS We literally just poured a bag of Brachs candies Red Hots in a bowl with a large jar of Applesauce and stirred it until it become red. Then We put it back in the applesauce jar and the over flow into a small Ball canning jar and into the fridge for a day or shaking occasionally or stirring with a spoon to help the red hots continue to melt into the applesauce. Then serveed this bright red cinnamony delicacy in green glass bowls on the table to be enjoyed with the Ham or put on bread for a nice treat… it’s also amazing on buttered toast!
