My mother always made candied apples for Halloween. She made a huge batch for the neighborhood kids every year. She added red food coloring to make them bright red. I decided that the apples were gorgeous as nature intended so I left that ingredient out. This is so simple it is hardly a recipe...but it is a solid tradition. (the candy thermometer was my mother's at least 40 years ago). I used winesap apples, a US heirloom variety. The trees on our property are over 100 years old. - dymnyno
