Candy Apples

Sweet Candied Apples with a Red, Shiny Candy Coating.

• Ready In: 40 mins
• Serves: 15

Ingredients

• 15  apples
• 2  cups white sugar
• 1  cup light corn syrup
• 1 1⁄2 cups water
• 1⁄2 teaspoon  red food coloring
• 3  g  cherry Kool-Aid (1/2 envelope)

Directions

1. Lightly grease cookie sheets. Insert sticks into whole, stemmed apples.
2. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine sugar, corn syrup and water. Heat to 300 - 310 degrees F (149 - 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 and Kool-Aide.
3. Holding the apple by its stick, dip in syrup and remove and turn and coat evenly. Place on grease cookie sheet to harden.
4. *Hint - Place syrup mixture in a bowl over a pot with lightly boiling water to keep candy from hardening while dipping!
