Ingredients

1 (14-ounce) package strawberry glaze
1 1/2 cups corn syrup
1 (3-ounce) box cherry gelatin dessert mix
1/2 cup hot water
6 Granny Smith apples, washed and dried
6 wooden candy apple sticks
1 cup chopped nuts

Directions

In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine glaze and corn syrup. Simmer for 20 minutes.

Dilute gelatin mix in hot water and pour in saucepan with glaze. Stir and continue to cook until temperature on a candy thermometer is between 180 and 200 degrees F.

Shove wooden candy sticks into bottom of apples, far enough to secure inside. Dip each apple in syrup and turn until completely coated. Immediately roll bottom half of apples in nuts. When cool arrange on parchment-lined tray.

Still no success
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I tried to make this again and taking the sugestion of increasing the temp to 280-300 but the candy coating would never go... over 215. It cooked for a long time but the gooey mess it made is still the same. Either way the kids think they are "bloody" apples and like them for their halloween party.Read more

I BEG YOU....Find ANOTHER Recipe
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

After reading the other reviews and learning that you need to get this recipe to 280-300 degrees, I decided to go ahead with... the recipe because of how unique it was. Big mistake and a waste of money. I stirred constantly for what seems like an hour. It reached about 275 and then scorched. It stuck great to apples but had scorched flavor. Stick with tradition candy apple recipes.Read more

It looked easy when Sandra Lee was cooking it on TV but I had a very hard time making the candy syrup stick to the apple.
