Scale
- 4 medium-sized apples
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Food coloring (optional)
- Sprinkles or toppings of choice (optional)
Instructions
- Wash and dry the apples thoroughly, removing any wax.
- Insert a wooden stick into the top of each apple.
