Ingredients
Original recipe makes 15 candied apples
15 apples
2 cups white sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1 1/2 cups water
8 drops red food coloring
Directions
1-Lightly grease cookie sheets. Insert craft sticks into whole, stemmed apples.
2-In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine sugar, corn syrup and water. Heat to 300 to 310 degrees F (149 to 154 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms hard, brittle threads. Remove from heat and stir in food coloring.
3-Holding apple by its stick, dip in syrup and remove and turn to coat evenly. Place on prepared sheets to harden.
