Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon white vinegar

Instructions

  1. Prepare your apples by washing and drying them thoroughly. Insert a stick into the top of each apple and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, water, and vinegar. Cook over medium-high heat without stirring until it reaches the hard crack stage (about 295-310°F), roughly 20 minutes.
  3. Once the syrup reaches temperature, add food coloring and stir gently.
  4. Dip each apple into the mixture, allowing excess to drip off before placing them on the prepared baking sheet to cool.
