Ingredients
Instructions
- Prepare the Apples: Wash and dry the apples thoroughly. Insert a wooden skewer into the stem end of each apple.
- Make the Candy Coating: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, water, and corn syrup. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
- Heat the Syrup: Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Let it cook for 8-10 minutes or until it reaches 300°F (hard crack stage) on a candy thermometer.
- Add Color and Flavor: Once the syrup reaches the desired temperature, remove from heat and stir in the red food coloring and cinnamon extract (if using).
- Dip the Apples: Dip each apple into the syrup, swirling to coat completely. Let any excess syrup drip off.
- Cool: Place the coated apples on a parchment-lined tray and let them cool for 30 minutes to harden.
