Candy Apples

Directions

1. 1
   Insert craft sticks into center of apples. (Note: I used twigs that were washed and dried.) Set apples aside.Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set pan aside.Using a heavy-bottomed saucepan, add sugar, corn syrup, water and food coloring.
2. 2
   Place pan over medium-high heat. Cook until mixture reaches 300-310F. (Note: Use extreme caution with this mixture as it gets very hot!)Working with one apple at a time, tilt the pan to one side and roll apple in sugar syrup. Shake apple slightly so excess syrup drips off.
3. 3
   Place apple on parchment-lined sheet pan until hard (~10-15 minutes).
