Ingredients

15 apples
2 cups white sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 teaspoon red food coloring
3 g cherry Kool-Aid (1/2 envelope)

Directions

1

Lightly grease cookie sheets. Insert sticks into whole, stemmed apples.
2

In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine sugar, corn syrup and water. Heat to 300 - 310 degrees F (149 - 154 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms hard, brittle threads. Remove from heat and stir in food coloring and Kool-Aide.
3

Holding the apple by its stick, dip in syrup and remove and turn and coat evenly. Place on grease cookie sheet to harden.

*Hint - Place syrup mixture in a bowl over a pot with lightly boiling water to keep candy from hardening while dipping!
