Old-fashioned cinnamon-flavored red candied
apples, a long-time favorite treat for autumn parties.
Red Candied Apples
- 8 to 10 medium apples (sweet or
tart, as desired), at room temperature
2 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon red food coloring
Few drops flavored oil (cinnamon, clove, etc.), if desired
Wooden skewers
- Generously grease a baking sheet; set
aside. Wash and dry apples thoroughly. Insert wooden skewer in
stem end of each apple.
- Mix sugar, water, corn syrup in a 2 quart
heavy saucepan. Heat to boiling over high heat; reduce heat.
Boil gently, without stirring, to 290°F (145°C)
on candy thermometer or until a small amount of mixture dropped
into very cold water separates into threads that are hard but
not brittle. Remove from heat and stir in red food coloring and
flavored oil.
- Quickly dip apples into syrup, twirling
until completely coated. Place on prepared baking sheet to cool.
Makes 8 to 10 candied apples.
