Instructions
Combine corn syrup, sugar, and water in a small, but deep saucepan. Heat until mixture begins to boil.
Place candy thermometer in saucepan so that the tip is submerged, but not resting against the bottom of the pan.
Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches 305°F.
Remove from heat and add food coloring. Adjust the amount of food coloring to achieve desired color.
While mixture is cooking, prepare apples by wiping with a vinegar/hot water mixture (50/50) and pat dry. Place a stick in the top center of each apple and set on a sheet of parchment paper.
Dip apple into hot candy coating and rotate gently to coat apple.
Place on parchment paper to cool completely. Candy will harden and apple will lift easily from parchment when cooled.
