Pour water around apples in baking dish. Add lemon juice and cinnamon sticks. Cut candy into 1/4-inch pieces. Set aside 8 teaspoons of candy pieces. Place remaining candy pieces into each apple.  Place apples in oven and bake until apples are thoroughly cooked and fork-tender, about 30 to 35 minutes.
