Ingredients
Butter
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon red food coloring (optional)
6 medium apples, or 12 large apples
6-12 cinnamon sticks, popsicle sticks or sticks
Preparation
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper then butter parchment and set a side. In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine sugar, 3/4 cup water, corn syrup, and food coloring. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat to medium- high. Insert candy thermometer and continue to boil until temperature reaches between 300 degrees and 310 degrees, about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, insert a wooden stick into the top of each apple, pushing about halfway through; set aside. When mixture reaches temperature, immediately remove from heat. Working quickly, dip apples in sugar mixture until completely coated. Transfer to prepared baking sheet; allow to cool.
