Red candy apples

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 cups Sugar
¾ can Water
½ cup Molasses; mild
1 tablespoon Vinegar
½ teaspoon Red food coloring
10 Apples

Directions

Combine all ingredients except food coloring and apples and cook until mixture spins a thread or until candy stays on apple. (Mixture will be thick) Add food coloring. Put a stick into apple and dip into mixture.

Place on a well greased cookie sheet, and allow to dry. Store in covered container, or wrap with parchment paper or greased wrap. I suggest using Gala, Paula Red, or any other super firm baking apples. This recipe produces the closest I've seen to "State Fair" candy apples - those without cinnamon flavoring.
