Candy Apples

Class recipe for making Gourmet Candy Apples
Source: Christian Homemaking
Author: Martha Matthews

8 apples (Granny Smiths or something a little tart)

8 wooden skewers or sticks

2 1/3 cups sugar

1 cup light corn syrup

1 cup waterRed coloring

Grease a baking pan and set it aside. Wash and dry the apples thoroughly. Remove the stems. Insert a wooden skewer into the stem end of each apple.

Place sugar, syrup, and water in a small, heavy, deep saucepan so that the syrup will be deep enough to dip the apples into. On a medium heat, stir the sugar until it is dissolved. When the mixture starts boiling, stir in the food coloring. Do NOT stir the mixture from this point on. Wipe the sides of the pan with a damp cloth to remove any sugar crystals that form. Boil without stirring until syrup is brittle when a small amount is dropped into cold water, or 300 degrees F on a candy thermometer.

Dip the apples into syrup. Be very careful around small children with the hot syrup. Remove at once, twisting each apple to spread the syrup evenly. Stand apples on a greased baking sheet. Let stand until the syrup hardens.
