Serves: 8
Ingredients
  • Butter or cooking spray
  • 2 cups sugar
  • ¾ cup water
  • ½ cup light corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon food coloring
  • 8 apples (pick a large, juicy variety)
  • About a tsp of liquid flavoring (like vanilla or cinnamon)
Instructions
  1. Line a cookie sheet in buttered parchment. Prepare apples by washing, drying and sticking them with a wooden dowel (I used bamboo BBQ skewers).
  2. Measure sugar, water, corn syrup and food coloring into a large saucepan. Bring to a boil without stirring, and then reduce heat.
  3. Boil until the mixture reaches 300-310 degrees on a thermometer (or hard crack stage).
  4. Immediately remove the candy coating from heat.
  5. Dip one apples at a time to coat.
  6. Transfer to baking sheet to cool.
