Well, it's hard to find those tiny cinnamon red hots that were made with sugar and not corn syrup, but as times change we must change too. I've kept the tradition going with Brach's cinnamon candies that I unwrap and crush in a ziplock bag, and it is that unperfect candy that I pour into my applesauce that makes it perfect and special. Remove from heat; discard lemon peel and cinnamon sticks. Serve warm or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Heat a saucepan over medium heat.
