Red candy apples

8 medium apples, green or red

3 cups sugar

2 cups corn syrup

2 cups water

20 drops red food coloring

Wash and dry apples, remove stems and insert a wooden stick into the bottom of the apples.
In a pan, combine sugar, corn syrup, and water. Heat slowly on low heat, stirring constantly.
Once mixture starts to boil, stop stirring and leave until a small amount of mixture dropped into cold water separates into breakable threads.
Remove from heat and stir in food coloring. Dip each apple into the mixture while mixture is still hot.
You will need to work fast to get all the apples dipped before mixture becomes too hard.
