Candy apples

[ButterflyWings]

YUM YUM LOL

15 apples
2 cups white sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1 1/2 cups water
8 drops red food coloring


Lightly grease cookie sheets. Insert craft sticks into whole, stemmed apples.
In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine sugar, corn syrup and water. Heat to 300 to 310 degrees F (149 to 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.
Holding apple by its stick, dip in syrup and remove and turn to coat evenly. Place on prepared sheets to harden

YUM! Favorite part of Halloween is the candy apples! We usually buy some at the Pumpkin Patch. Will have to try this recipe though!

not to be rude, but am i the only one who prefers their fruit in natural state? i have never liked cooked fruits (like apple or cherry pies, cobblers, etc)
my family loves to dip strawberries in sugar... i think it ruins the taste! all these chocolate covered caramel dipped (and ranch with your veggies, dontget me started!)... i guess im a simple person.. i like my fruit fresh cold and raw

I love this time of year.  Candy apples are great as are caramel coated apples.  Reminds me of when I was a child at the State Fair, good times.

I had braces in high school a number of years ago and couldn't eat them.
They get stuck in your teeth. So, I got used to not eating them.
