Ready In: 30 mins
Serves: 6
Ingredients
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 cups corn syrup
- 1⁄3 cup red cinnamon candies
- 1 cup water
- 3⁄4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1⁄4 teaspoon clove
- 3⁄4 teaspoon red food coloring
- 6 medium 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.
