Candied Apples
Ingredients:
2 cups Granulated Sugar
2 cups Corn Syrup
1/3 cup Cinnamon Candy
1 cup Water
3/4 tsp Cinnamon
1/2 tsp Vanilla
1/4 tsp Cloves
3/4 tsp Red Food Coloring
6 medium Apples
Directions:
Remove stems from apples, wash, and pat dry.
Insert a wooden skewer in each 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.
As soon as mixture reaches 300 degrees, remove it from heat.
Quickly dip each apple into the mixture until it is thoroughly coated.
Set coated apples, skewer pointing up, on baking sheet until mixture hardens.
Let apples reach room temperature before eating.
