  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2      c             Sugar
     3/4                Can water
     1/2  c             Mild molasses
   1      tb            Vinegar
     1/2  ts            Red food coloring
  10                    Apples

Combine all ingredients except food coloring and apples and cook
until mixture spins a thread or until candy stays on apple. Mixture
will be thick. Add food coloring. Put a stick into apple and dip into
mixture. Place on a well greased cookie sheet, and allow to dry.
Store in covered container, or wrap with parchment paper or greased
wrap. I suggest using Gala, Paula Red, or any other super firm baking
apples. This recipe produces the closest I've seen to "State Fair"
candy apples--those without cinnamon flavoring.
