Candy Apples

Remove stems and pedicels from the apples. Wash and dry them carefully. Put a skewer into each apple. The sugar coating: Stir together sugar, water and glucose in a small pan. Bring the pan slowly to a boil and cook on slow until the sugar melts. Increase heat and boil until it thickens (stir). You can tell when the liquid is ready by first dipping a cocktail/tooth pick intothe mixture and then into cold water. If the liquid solidifies, it's done. (Add a few drops of red food coluring to the liquid.) Dip the apples into the hot liquid, turning them around in it to spread the coating evenly. Put the apples on a baking sheet or a greased plate and let them cool. It'll take about 30 minutes for the coating to solidify.
