Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 c sugar
1 c water
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
red food coloring drops
4-12 medium apples
popsicle sticks or something similar

Steps:

  • 1. Mix 1st 3 ingredients in saucepan.
  • 2. Put on high heat with candy thermometer positioned in center of fluid level.
  • 3. While it is boiling, thoroughly wash and dry your apples, and spear with the sticks.
  • 4. Boil mixture until reaches hard crack (300ºF), then immediately add red food coloring and stir.
  • 5. Quickly dip the apples, twisting to cover, and set on a greased cookie sheet.
  • 6. NOTES: You may want to use a deep, narrow pan, and tilt it to cover the apples well. You should not make the coating too thick as it will be hard to bite through to the apple. A reviewer suggested that you could also make the coating orange, and reserve some to tint black. The drizzle the black over the up-turned apples! The same reviewer said she covered 12 medium apple.
