Line a large cookie
sheet with buttered waxed paper.
Wash and completely dry apples. Insert a stick through stems. If
you plan on using peanuts or coconut to coat the candies apples,
get them ready now by placing in a small bowl.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, corn syrup, food
coloring and water. Cook, stirring constantly, until ingredients
are dissolved and liquid boils. Set a candy
thermometer in mixture and continue cooking, without stirring
until temperature reaches 290° F, about 20 minutes.
Remove syrup from heat and, woking quickly, dip the apples, one
at a time, coating them evenly. If desired, roll in peanuts or coconut
to coat then place on prepared cookie sheet. Let apples cool for
at least an hour.
