Steps:
- Wash and thoroughly dry the apples (See Kelly's Notes below). Insert the lollipop sticks or popsicle sticks so that they are firmly positioned in the apples. Set the apples aside on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper coated with cooking spray.
- Combine the sugar, corn syrup and water in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Bring it to a boil and cook the mixture until a candy thermometer reaches 300ºF (the hard crack stage).
- Remove the candy mixture from the heat and carefully stir in the red food coloring. (It may splash, so stand back. And you may have to add more than the designated 1/2 teaspoon, depending on the quality and strength of your food coloring.)
- One by one, carefully dip the apples into the candy mixture, swirling to coat them thoroughly and allowing any excess to drip back into the pan. Transfer the coated apples to the prepared cookie sheet and allow them to cool until the candy has fully hardened.

Steps:
- Wash and dry the apples and remove the stems. Insert a wooden twig into each apple about halfway through. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the sugar, corn syrup, 1/2 teaspoon of the blue food coloring, 1/2 teaspoon of the red food coloring and 1 cup water to a small saucepot and stir together. Attach a candy thermometer to the pot and bring the mixture to a boil. (Do not stir once the sugar starts to boil.) Boil until the mixture reaches 295 degrees F, 15 to 20 minutes. Immediately remove from the heat and add the remaining 1/2 teaspoon blue food coloring and 1/2 teaspoon red food coloring, using a wooden skewer to swirl a figure eight in the pot and being careful not to blend.
- Immediately dip the apples into the mixture, carefully tilting the pot as necessary to coat. Allow any excess coating to drip back into the pot, then place the apples on the parchment-lined baking sheet to set, about 1 hour.
CINNAMON CANDIED APPLES
For years, we enjoyed candied apples at Christmas when my great-grandmother made them. When she passed away, no one could find the recipe. I eventually came across this stovetop version and have continued her tradition. -Angie Marquart, Mt. Gilead, Ohio

- Add all the ingredients to a small bowl and thoroughly combine with a hand-held mixer. Topping should be stiff. Refrigerate until ready to use.
OLD-FASHIONED RED CANDIED APPLES
These are the kind you found at the circus or carnival! Not the newer version covered with cramel. ;) Candy thermometer is needed for this, as well as popsicle sticks. The number of apples needed depends on the size of the apples, probably 4 medium ones. The recipe states that each batch candies approximately 1 dozen medium apples. I'm not sure I trust that. Cook time depends on your altitude where you live, heat of your burner, and pot used. NOTE: See review by Canada Goose for helpful hints! Thanks, CG!
