Candied Apples
2 Cup granulated sugar
2 Cup corn syrup
1/3 Cup cinnamon candy
1 Cup water
3/4 Tsp. cinnamon
1/2 Tsp. vanilla
1/4 Tsp. cloves
3/4 Tsp. red food coloring
6 Med Macintosh apples
Remove stems from apples, wash, and pat dry.
Insert a wooden skewer in each apple, running
through the apple from stem end to base without
protruding all the way through the bottom end.
Combine sugar, corn syrup, cinnamon candies, and
water in medium-sized saucepan. Cook until the candies
dissolve, stirring constantly. Be careful not to boil.
Add cinnamon, vanilla, cloves, and food coloring. Mix thoroughly.
Boil mixture to 300 degrees using a candy thermometer without stirring.
While mixture is boiling, generously prepare a baking sheet with cooking
spray so it's ready ahead of time. As soon as mixture reaches 300 degrees,
remove it from heat and quickly dip each apple-one by one-into the mixture
until it is thoroughly coated. Set coated apples, standing on their bottoms
with skewer pointing up, on baking sheet until mixture hardens. Let apples
reach room temperature before eating.
