Place on medium flame until the sugar boils; at that point increase the heat to high. Occasionally,
wash sides of pot with cold water and a brush, if needed, to prevent crystallization. Cook on high
heat to 283 degrees F. Add red food coloring and swirl around in the pot; do not stir. Continue to
cook to 300 degrees F. Remove from the heat and let rest for 3 minutes.

Dip the apple on an angle, rotating the apple clockwise, to coat the apple. Immediately roll the
apple in candy corn or licorice. Set aside to cool.
