Preparation
Step 1
Insert sticks into the top of each apple. Line a large baking sheet with foil and spray heavily with nonstick spray. Set aside.
Step 2
Combine sugar, corn syrup, and water in a saucepan over medium high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
Step 3
Keep stirring until mixture reaches 300 degrees on a candy thermometer. If you’re unsure about the temperature of your candy, drop a bit in a class of cold water. If it hardens immediately and easily breaks in half, it’s ready. If it sinks to the bottom and is pliable, it needs to cook a bit longer.
Step 4
Remove from heat and immediately stir in the cinnamon oil and red food coloring. Carefully dip apples in the coating and place on lined baking sheet to harden.
This recipe calls for a candy thermometer. You don't have to use cinnamon oil...any flavor candy oil that you want can be used.
