INGREDIENTS
•
6-8 medium apples (washed, dried & stems removed)**
•
3 cups of white sugar
•
½ cup light corn syrup
•
1 cup water
•
1 tsp vanilla extract (or other flavoring)
•
2 Tbsp white food coloring (I recommend AmeriColor Bright White Soft Gel Paste or Lorann White Food Coloring)
•
1-2 tsp. of gel coloring (whichever color you want your apples to be! - I used Americolor Electric Pink and Americolor Orange) - the more color you use, the brighter the apples will be!)
•
Candy Apple Sticks (or craft sticks or short dowels)
•
** I used rather large Granny Smith Apples. I love the tartness of the green apples, but I wish they had been smaller. They were hard to wrap and I wasn't able to dip as many as the recipe indicated!
