Stages of cooking
-
Lightly grease cookie sheets. Insert craft sticks into whole, stemmed apples.
-
Combine sugar, water, and corn syrup in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and insert candy thermometer; continue to boil, without stirring, until temperature reaches 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.
-
Holding each apple by its stick, dip in syrup, remove and turn to coat evenly. Place on prepared sheets to harden.
