     Title: Candy Apples
Categories: Candy
     Yield: 8 Servings

     8 md Red apples
     8    Flat wooden skewers or
          -spoons
     2 c  Sugar
     1 c  Light corn syrup
   1/2 c  Water
   1/4 c  Red cinnamon candies; (1 3/4
          -oz)
    10 dr Red food coloring;
          -(optional)

 Wash and dry apples; remove stems and insert skewers into stem ends.
 Combine sugar, light corn syrup and water in heavy 2 qt saucepan.
 Stirring constantly, cook over medium heat until mixture boils and
 sugar is dissolved. Then cook, without stirring, until temperature
 reaches 250 F or until small amount of syrup dropped into very cold
 water forms a ball which is hard enough to hold its shape, yet
 plastic. Add cinnamon candies and continue cooking to 285 F or until
 small amount of syrup dropped into very cold water separates into
 threads which are hard, but not brittle. Remove from heat. Stir in
 red food coloring, if desired. Hold each apple by its skewer and
 quickly twirl in syrup, tilting pan to cover apple with syrup. Remove
 apple from syrup; allow excess to drip off, then twirl to spread
 syrup smoothly over apple. Place on lightly greased baking sheet to
 cool. Store in cool place.
