Instructions

Prepare Apples: Insert wooden sticks into the tops of each washed and dried apple. Set aside on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Make Candy Coating: In a saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, and water. Heat until sugar dissolves. Boil to 300°F without stirring. Remove from heat, add extract and first color of food coloring.
Coat Apples: Dip apples in candy mixture, letting excess drip off. Place on sheet to set. Repeat process with second color after the first layer hardens.
Set and Serve: Allow apples to set at room temperature before serving.

Notes

Ensure apples are dry and at room temperature for better coating adhesion.
Use gel food coloring for vibrant stripes. Drizzling the second color is an alternative to dipping.
