How To Make It
1 Line a baking sheet with wax paper, and lightly brush with butter.
2 Wash and dry apples. Insert a popsicle sticks or wooden craft dowels into the stem end of each apple. We covered our dowels with striped paper straws to add black and white striped detail.
3 In a saucepan, combine sugar, water, corn syrup, and food coloring. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-high.
4 Boil until syrup reaches 300 degrees to 310 degrees on a candy thermometer, about 15 minutes.
5 When syrup reaches desired temperature, immediately remove from heat. Dip apples, 1 at a time, in caramel. Tilt and rotate to coat. Transfer to baking sheet and let cool.
