Pink Candied Apples

First, for an air pocket/bubble-free finish, wash your apples thoroughly with dish soap, warm water, and a sponge, drying them completely to remove all wax. This ensures the candy coating adheres properly. Add sugar, corn syrup, water, and food colorants to a medium pan. Stir to mix and bring to a boil on medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low (do not stir) and bring the mixture to 302 °F using a candy or laser thermometer. This process will take approximately 20-25 minutes. While waiting, prepare parchment paper by lightly spraying it with nonstick oil/cook spray to prevent the candy coating from sticking. Once the candy reaches 302°F, immediately remove the pan from the heat. Carefully dip and coat each apple at least twice, allowing any excess coating to drip back into the pan. Place the candied apples onto the prepared parchment paper to set. Enjoy!
