Light
coals well before beginning prep, since coals take approximately 20-35
minuts to get hot. You will need enough briquettes to cover an area
greater then the amount of your desserts. Do not short change how many
coals are needed since you can quickly lose heat, causing a couple of
desserts to take far longer than they should.

|
Core
each apple in a funnel shapre from the top down, careful to leave enough
left of the bottom of the apple to hold in the juices. Place the apple
in a square of aluminum foil. Fill the cavity with red hot candies,
as much as you want but do not exceed the top of the apple.
|
|
Fold the foil on the apple, leaving the opening near the top of the
apple. Place
your foil pack directly on the coals, preferrably avoiding areas with
flame. Do not unwrap for any reason.
|
|
After
approximately 15 minutes carefully remove and unwrap your apple. If
you red hots are melted and and middle juice then your apple is ready
to eat. If not, recover with the foil and place it back on the coals.
When removing
your foil pack from the fire remember that not only is the pack VERY
hot but if you use a shovel to remove the foil pack it is possible you
will have some coal or embers as well.

Note:
This dessert can also be made with caramel, though your cooking time
will probably be longer depending on the type of caramel you choose.
