Candied Apples

       The word "lolly pop" dates to 1784, but initially referred to soft, rather than hard candy. The term may have derived from the term "lolly" (tongue) and "pop" (slap). The first references to the lollipop in its modern context date to the 1920s.Alternatively, it may be a word of Romany origin being related to the Roma tradition of selling toffee apples sold on a stick. Red apple in the Romany language isloli phaba. 
To make a batch of  8 candy apples, according to my grandmother, you need 2 c. sugar, 1 c. light corn syrup, 1/2 c. water, and 1/4 c. red cinnamon, and you can add red food coloring if you want, and I'm assuming here that you figured that you would need 8 apples.
1.) Remove the stems from them apples, and put those suckers on a pan
2.) Mix the sugar, corn syrup, and water in a saucepan on medium heat until you can't see the sugar anymore
3.) Put the pan in the oven at 250 degrees until a drop of the syrup dropped in cool water turnes into a ball, once it does that, put the cinnamon in, and turn the heat up to 285 degrees until you can put a small amount in cool water and it turns into these funky looking threads, then take it right out of the over and stir it, and add the food coloring if you want
4.) Get your apples mentally prepared for their molten syzurp bath
5.) Pour the sauce all over the apples however you want
*Note: Most people put aluminum foil on the pan and butter or grease it, but you can also just use a high sided pan and have fun cleaning it out, or reheating what you get out and making more
6.) let them cool, or if you're all impatient and whatnot just put them in the fridge, and then jam some popsicle sticks, or hey, just sticks, into where the stem would be and eat the crap out of those apples

Sir Charles Spencer "Charlie" Chaplin, KBE (16 April 1889 – 25 December 1977) was an English comic actor, film director and composer best known for his work during the silent film era.He became the most famous film star in the world before the end of World War I. Chaplin used mime, slapstick and other visual comedy routines, and continued well into the era of the talkies, though his films decreased in frequency from the end of the 1920s. His most famous role was that of The Tramp, which he first played in the Keystone comedy Kid Auto Races at Venice in 1914. From the April 1914 one-reeler Twenty Minutes of Love onwards he was writing and directing most of his films, by 1916 he was also producing them, and from 1918 he was even composing the music for them. .Chaplin was one of the most creative and influential personalities of the silent-film era. He was influenced by his predecessor, the French silent film comedian Max Linder, to whom he dedicated one of his films.His working life in entertainment spanned over 75 years, from the Victorian stage and the music hall in the United Kingdom as a child performer, until close to his death at the age of 88. His high-profile public and private life encompassed both adulation and controversy. Chaplin was identified with Left-wing politics during the McCarthy era and he was ultimately forced to resettle in Europe from 1952.
In 1999, the American Film Institute ranked Chaplin the 10th greatest male screen legend of all time. In 2008, Martin Sieff, in a review of the book Chaplin: A Life, wrote: "Chaplin was not just 'big', he was gigantic. In 1915, he burst onto a war-torn world bringing it the gift of comedy, laughter and relief while it was tearing itself apart through World War I. Over the next 25 years, through the Great Depression and the rise of Adolf Hitler, he stayed on the job. ... It is doubtful any individual has ever given more entertainment, pleasure and relief to so many human beings when they needed it the most".George Bernard Shaw called Chaplin "the only genius to come out of the movie industry".
