A Healthier Spiced Apple Ring Recipe

I set out to come up with a way to make spiced apple rings that would have that same festive color but without the added chemicals. What I came up with is this recipe that uses natural beet juice to achieve the color. I promise you don't taste the beet in the final version, but you do get beautifully bright red apple rings that are lightly flavored with cinnamon and cloves:
Happy Holiday Season!
