Ingredients:
2 C granulated sugar
2 C corn syrup
1/3 C cinnamon candy
1 C water
3/4 Tsp cinnamon
1/2 Tsp vanilla
1/4 Tsp cloves
3/4 Tsp red food coloring
6 Med apples
Directions:
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 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.
