Instructions

Prepare your apples by washing and drying them thoroughly. Insert sticks into the tops, then line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, water, and vinegar. Bring to a boil without stirring until it reaches the hard crack stage (295-310°F), about 20 minutes.
Once ready, remove from heat and stir in food coloring. Allow bubbling to subside before dipping.
Dip each apple into the hot candy mixture, allowing excess to drip off before placing on the lined tray to cool.
