Baked Honey Orange Apples

Orange juice and cinnamon red-hots give these baked apples unique flavor.

• 2/3 cup honey
• 3 tablespoons red cinnamon candies, red-hots
• 2 tablespoons finely grated orange zest
• 1 cup orange juice
• whipped cream or whipped topping
• 6 medium tart apples

In a saucepan combine the honey, candies, orange peel, and orange juice. Bring to a boil and cook until candies are dissolved, stirring frequently.

Peel and core the apples; arrange in an 8-inch baking dish. Pour the hot syrup over the apples. Bake uncovered at 350° for 1 hour, or until apples are tender, turning occasionally. Serves 6. Top each serving with some of the juice and whipped cream or topping.
