How to Make Red Apples On A Stick

Wash and thoroughly dry 6 medium-sized red apples. Remove stems.
Carefully insert a wooden skewer into the stem end of each apple.
In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup light corn syrup, and 1/4 cup water.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Reduce heat to low and continue to cook, without stirring, until the syrup reaches the soft-ball stage (a small amount of syrup dropped into ice water forms a soft ball that flattens slightly when removed). This takes approximately 10-15 minutes. Test frequently.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (or your preferred flavoring) and a few drops of red food coloring, if using. Stir gently to combine.
Holding each apple by the skewer, carefully swirl it in the hot syrup, tilting the pan to coat the apple completely. Work quickly and efficiently.
Remove the apple from the syrup, allowing excess to drip off. Then, gently swirl the apple to evenly distribute the syrup.
Place the coated apples on a lightly buttered baking sheet to cool completely. The syrup will harden as it cools.
