• 1 ½ cups water

• 15 apples
• 8 drops red food coloring

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

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

Step 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.

Step 3

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