 Categories: Candy
      Yield: 8 Servings
 
      8 md Red apples
      8    Flat wooden skewers or
           -spoons
      2 c  Sugar
      1 c  Light corn syrup
    1/2 c  Water
    1/4 c  Red cinnamon candies; (1 3/4
           -oz)
     10 dr Red food coloring;
           -(optional)
 
  Wash and dry apples; remove stems and insert skewers into stem ends.
  Combine sugar, light corn syrup and water in heavy 2 qt saucepan.
  Stirring constantly, cook over medium heat until mixture boils and
  sugar is dissolved. Then cook, without stirring, until temperature
  reaches 250°F or until small amount of syrup dropped into very cold
  water forms a ball which is hard enough to hold its shape, yet
  plastic. Add cinnamon candies and continue cooking to 285°F or until
  small amount of syrup dropped into very cold water separates into
  threads which are hard, but not brittle. Remove from heat. Stir in
  red food coloring, if desired. Hold each apple by its skewer and
  quickly twirl in syrup, tilting pan to cover apple with syrup. Remove
  apple from syrup; allow excess to drip off, then twirl to spread
  syrup smoothly over apple. Place on lightly greased baking sheet to
  cool. Store in cool place.
