Red Candy Apples

Recipe By : The Kitchen Collection: Holiday Candies
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :1:00
Categories : Apples

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 cups sugar
3/4 can water
1/2 cup molasses -- mild
1 tablespoon vinegar
1/2 teaspoon red food coloring
10 apples

Combine all ingredients except food coloring and apples and cook until
mixture spins a thread or until candy stays on apple. (Mixture will be thick)
Add food coloring. Put a stick into apple and dip into mixture. Place on a well
greased cookie sheet, and allow to dry. Store in covered container, or wrap
with
parchment paper or greased wrap. I suggest using Gala, Paula Red, or any other
super firm baking apples. This recipe produces the closest I've seen to
"State Fair" candy apples - those without cinnamon flavoring.
