Candied Apples III

By marlene

Ingredients

• 1 2/3 cups cinnamon red hot candies
• 2 tbs water
• 12 apples

Preparation

Step 1

Insert craft sticks into apples. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. In a heavy bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat, pour candies and water. Occasionally brushing down sides of pans with a heat resistant pastry brush, heat candy to 300* to 310*, or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms hard, brittle threads. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Dip apples in hot liquid and place on waxed paper to harden.
