Apples with a hard candy coating, like you can get at fairs.

Recipe Ingredients

  • 15 apples
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 ½ cups water
  • 8 drops red food coloring

Cooking Directions

  1. 1 Lightly grease cookie sheets. Insert craft sticks into whole, stemmed apples.
  2. 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. 3 Holding apple by its stick, dip in syrup and remove and turn to coat evenly. Place on prepared sheets to harden.
