Recipe Source: TotallyChefs Recipe Ai

Ingredients:

• 6 medium-sized apples
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup light corn syrup
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon extract
• Red food coloring
• 6 wooden skewers

Directions:

1. Wash and dry the apples thoroughly. Remove the stems and insert a wooden skewer into the stem end of each apple.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, water, and cinnamon extract. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves.
3. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until it reaches 300°F on a candy thermometer (hard crack stage).
4. Remove the mixture from heat and quickly stir in a few drops of red food coloring to achieve the desired color.
5. Working quickly and carefully, dip each apple into the hot candy mixture, rotating to coat evenly. Allow excess candy to drip off.
6. Place the coated apples on a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool and harden.
7. Once the candy coating has set, your Cinnamon Red Candy Apples are ready to enjoy!
