How do you make the RED candy coated apples?

Question

Whomever gives me the best and I try it out will get the 10 points,

Answer 1

CANDIED APPLES
2 cups granulated sugar
2 cups corn syrup
1/3 cup cinnamon candy
1 cup water
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon cloves (ground)
3/4 teaspooon red food coloring
6 apples
Remove stems from apples, wash, and pat dry. Insert a wooden skewer (popsicle stick) in each apple, running through the apple from stem end to base without protruding all the way through the bottom end. Combine sugar, corn syrup, cinnamon candies, and water in medium-sized saucepan. Cook until candies dissolve, stirring constantly. Be careful not to boil. Add cinnamon, vanilla, cloves, and food coloring. Mix thoroughly. Boil mixture to 300° F. using a candy thermometer without stirring. While mixture is boiling, generously prepare a baking sheet with cooking spray so it's ready ahead of time. As soon as mixture reaches 300° F., remove it from heat and quickly dip each apple-one by one-into the mixture until it is thoroughly coated. Set coated apples, standing on their bottoms with skewer pointing up, on baking sheet until mixture hardens. Let apples reach room temperature before eating.

Answer 2

this is an easy an delicious recipe:

1 (14-ounce) package strawberry glaze
1 1/2 cups corn syrup
1 (3-ounce) box cherry gelatin dessert mix
1/2 cup hot water
6 Granny Smith apples, washed and dried
6 wooden candy apple sticks
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)


In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine glaze and corn syrup. Simmer for 20 minutes.

Dilute gelatin mix in hot water and pour in saucepan with glaze. Stir and continue to cook until temperature on a candy thermometer is between 180 and 200 degrees F.

Shove wooden candy sticks into bottom of apples, far enough to secure inside. Dip each apple in syrup and turn until completely coated. Immediately roll bottom half of apples in nuts (optional). When cool arrange on parchment-lined tray.


This is more traditional:

Candy Apples (Red Hard Candy)
 
    
     10    Medium sized apples Washed & dried
  2 1/2 c  Sugar
    1/2 c  White corn syrup
    1/2 c  Water
      1 ts Vanilla
           Red food coloring

........... Directions: Insert skewers in blossom end of the
  apples. Combine sugar, syrup, water, vanilla & coloring. Cook, without
  stirring, to hard-crack stage or 380 D. on candy thermometer. Crystals
  which form on side of the pan, should not be stirred into the candy during
  cooking. Remove from the heat. Dip apples, holding by skewers, into the
  syrup. Place on buttered tray or platter. Cool.


This one is cinnamon flavor:

Red Candy Apples

6 crisp apples
6 wooden skewers
1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 cups light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon red food coloring
10 drops oil of cinnamon

Wash and dry apples, remove stems. Insert skewers.
Combine sugar, corn syrup and food coloring in top half of double boiler. Cook directly over low heat stirring until sugar dissolves, about 4 minutes. Cover and cook slowly about 8 minutes. Uncover, cook without stirring to hard crack stage (300 degrees) on candy thermometer. Stir in flavoring.
Place top of double boiler over boiling water in lower part of pan. Turn each apple in syrup to coat, twirl apple to spread coating evenly letting excess syrup drip back into pan. Set apples on buttered waxed paper. If syrup thickens reheat over direct heat.

I hope this helps some!
