• 1 teaspoon cinnamon oil
• 2 cups light corn syrup

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and sprinkle it with confectioners' sugar.

Step 2

Remove stems from apples and rinse them thoroughly. Spear each apple through the bottom with a rounded wooden craft stick. Dry thoroughly and set aside.

Step 3

In a large saucepan bring water, sugar and corn syrup to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-high. Continue to boil, stirring so as not to burn, until mixture reaches 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Remove from heat, and while stirring, add food coloring and cinnamon oil.

Step 4

Working quickly, dip each apple into the candy mixture, coating well. Place apples on prepared cookie sheet to cool. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
