Grandma Helen's Cinnamon Apples

My grandmother made these for us every year during the holidays when we would visit her in Illinois. All of the grandkids loved them. I'm happy to share the recipe with my Zaar cooking buddies. Remember to look for the candies in February and save them for the whole year!!
