Ingredients
- 8 Firm red apples
- 8 wooden sticks washed popsicle sticks work great!
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp. red food coloring
Instructions
- Wash and dry your apples (make sure they are firm, unbruised apples). Remove the stem. Insert a wooden stick where the stem was. Grease a cookie sheet to set dipped apples on.
- Put sugar, syrup and water in a pot. Heat and stir to dissolve. Boil without stirring until liquid is 300F (150C) on your candy thermometer. At this temperature a drop of syrup in cold water will separate into brittle threads. Remove from heat.
- Mix in cinnamon and food coloring. Dip apples in syrup. Drain over saucepan. Set on cookie sheet. If the syrup starts to harden reheat it.
- Let apples cool before eating!!
