Ingredients
-
30 small apples (ideally granny smith or honeycrisp), washed, dried and stemmed
6 cups sugar
1 cup corn syrup
1 1/2 cups water
1 (2-oz) bottle white food colouring (i.e. Wilton)
1 - 2 oz gel food colouring (1 oz makes a more pastel colour)
Directions
Line two cookie sheets with parchment and push a chopstick into the "stem" end of each apple. Set aside.
In a heavy bottomed pot, combine the sugar, corn syrup, water, and food colourings.
Place over medium-high heat and let the mixture come to a boil.
Reduce heat to a low boil and let the candy cook, without stirring, until it reaches 302°F.
Remove from the heat and quickly (but carefully!) dip the apples in the sugar, letting excess drip off for a few seconds before placing on parchment.
Cool completely before enjoying.
