1 cup simple syrup (see recipe below)

 

3 cups white sugar

1 tsp red food colouring

 

Method:

 

For the simple syrup: Add 1 cup water and 1 cup sugar to a saucepan.  Boil mixture on a high heat until it reaches hard crack stage and then stir in your red food colouring until it turns crimson.  

 

While the syrup mixture is boiling, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Wash and dry your apples and then pierce them with your sticks.
