Instructions
- Gather all ingredients.
- Lightly coat baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray. Insert craft sticks into whole, stemmed apples.
- Combine sugar, water, and corn syrup in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and insert a candy thermometer. Continue boiling, without stirring, until mixture reaches 300 to 310 degrees F (149 to 154 degrees C), or until a small amount dropped into cold water forms hard, brittle threads.
- Remove from heat and stir in food coloring.
- Holding each apple by its stick, dip into the syrup, turning to coat evenly. Place coated apples on the prepared baking sheet to harden.
