Candy Apples
Serves 8
8 medium Apples
2 3/4 cups Sugar
1 1/4 cups Light Corn Syrup
1 tsp. Vanilla
15 drops Red Food Coloring
Wash and dry apples, remove stems and insert a wooden stick into the
bottom (not stem end) of the apples; approximately 2/3 of the way into
the apple. Set apples aside.
In saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup and water. Heat slowly on low
heat, stirring constantly. Once mixture starts to boil, stop stirring
and leave boiling until candy mixture reaches 300°F on a candy
thermometer, or until a small amount of mixture dropped into cold water
separates into breakable threads.
Remove from heat and stir in food coloring. Wait until mixture stops bubbling, then add vanilla, mix well.
Dip each apple into the mixture while mixture is still hot, swirl to
cover apple evenly. You will need to work fast to get all the apples
dipped before mixture becomes too hard.
Place dipped apple on greased cookie sheet or greased wax paper.
