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
