📝 Preparation Steps
1
Insert a stick through the stem portion of each apple, pushing about halfway through; set aside. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and coat with cooking spray.
2
In a medium saucepan, place the sugar, 1 cup of water, candy, corn syrup, and food coloring. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Insert a candy thermometer into the mixture and continue to boil until the temperature reaches 300°F to 305°, about ⏱️ 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and carefully add the vanilla, stirring well. Let the sugar syrup stand until the bubbling stops. (This will help eliminate chances of bubbles forming on the coating.)
3
Working quickly, dip 3/4 of an apple into the sugar syrup. Hold the apple over the pot, letting the excess drip off. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining apples. Cool completely before serving.
