• 1 ½ cups water
• 1 cup light corn syrup
• cooking spray
• 8 drops red food coloring

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Lightly grease cookie sheets. Insert craft sticks into whole, stemmed apples.

Step 2

Holding each apple by its stick, dip in syrup, remove and turn to coat evenly. Place on prepared sheets to harden.

Step 3

Combine sugar, water, and corn syrup in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. 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.
