Candied apples

Description

In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, mix sugar, 3/4 cup water, corn syrup, and food coloring (if using). Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and continue cooking for about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, insert a wooden stick into the top of each apple. Insert a thermometer into the cooking syrup. When the temperature reaches 150-155 degrees, immediately remove the mixture from heat. Quickly dip the apples into the mixture, coating them completely. Place on a sheet of paper and let cool.
