Candied Apples

Serving Size: 6

2 cup granulated sugar 2 cup corn syrup 1/3 cup cinnamon candy 1 cup water
3/4 Tsp cinnamon 1/2 Tsp vanilla 1/4 Tsp cloves 3/4 Tsp red food coloring
6 Med apples Remove stems from apples, wash, and pat dry. Insert a wooden
skewer 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 degrees 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 degrees,
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.
