 The ingredients are real basic:

10 pocket-size (snack size) apples
10 popsicle sticks
2 cups white sugar
1 loving cup calorie-free Karo syrup
1 & 1/2 cups water
1/2 teaspoon cherry UNsweetened Kool Aid powder

Wash whatever wax or reason from the apples in addition to thoroughly dry out them (remove stems). Insert wooden stick into the stalk halt of the apple tree (push almost one-half means into the apple).

Line a baking canvass amongst waxed newspaper in addition to spray it amongst cooking spray (keep this or thence your function station).

In a medium size, heavy-bottomed sauce pan, attach your candy thermometer in addition to brand certain that the drinking glass tip is non setting on the bottom of the pan (it volition give y'all a faux reading). Put all of the candy ingredients inwards the pan in addition to create on medium high, stirring constantly, until it comes to a boil. DO NOT STIR THIS AFTER information technology COMES TO H5N1 BOIL. Turn the estrus downward simply a little, thence that y'all lead hold a dainty gentle boil in addition to thence continue an oculus on the thermometer. Cook until it hits 300 or difficult scissure stage; this tin accept upwardly to thirty minutes, but on my stove it takes almost 25. Keep a closed oculus on the candy afterwards it reaches 285 because those final xv degrees move faster than y'all think. DO NOT STIR!!

Remove the pan from the estrus in addition to function fast. Holding the apple tree past times the stick, dip it into the pan (hold the pan at a tilt, thence the candy volition "pool". Twirl the apple tree in addition to thence allow the candy drip off of the apple tree for a few seconds in addition to thence house on the prepared waxed paper. DON'T GET THIS STUFF ON YOUR SKIN!!!!! Apples volition move difficult in addition to ready to role 5 to 10 minutes afterwards they are dipped. If y'all are going to add together sprinkles or whatever decorations, y'all volition lead hold to add together them amongst lightening speed because these cool off in addition to move difficult FAST (an extra somebody would move a big aid if y'all are going to add together sprinkles).
NOTE: Keep a bowl of H2O ice H2O close your function station simply inwards instance y'all larn some of this on your fingers (definitely non prophylactic for younger kids).

NOTE: In the offset phase of making the candy, elbow grease non to splash whatever liquid onto the sides of your pan (it tin brand crystals inwards the candy).

NOTE: I continue an electrical frying pan, preheated to 200, at my function station. When the pan of candy comes off of the stove, I laid it on the DRY, warm frying pan thence that it doesn't cool downward besides fast in addition to lengthens the amount of fourth dimension y'all lead hold to dip the apples.

NOTE: The best tip I tin give y'all is to lead hold EVERYTHING at your fingertips BEFORE y'all start dipping the apples. Once y'all are at that stage, y'all lead hold zilch fourth dimension to run to the pantry in addition to respect something.
NOTE: Any candy left over tin move poured out onto a pan that has been sprayed amongst cooking spray. When it's cooled, y'all tin intermission it upwardly in addition to swallow it (tastes similar cherry life savers.

NOTE: There is a teaspoon of UNsweetened Kool Aid pulverization inwards each pocket-size envelope, thence y'all tin larn ii batches of candied apples per Kool Aid envelope (any flavour volition work).

NOTE: Clean upwardly tin move a hurting if y'all don't lead hold a dishwasher. If y'all lead hold a dishwasher, simply set all of the materials inwards the hot cycle.

NOTE: These are best eaten the solar daytime they are made. If y'all HAVE to brand them a solar daytime ahead of time, create NOT encompass them because the wet from the apples volition degrade the candy coating.

NOTE: Someone told me (I haven't tried it) that y'all tin candy grapes, cherries in addition to other pocket-size fruit (use their stems to concur onto instead of using a stick).
