Ingredients

8 large apples

2 cups granulated sugar

1 cup light corn syrup

1/2 cup butter, cut into pieces

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

8 wooden sticks or lollipop sticks

Directions

Skewer apples with popsicle sticks, then return to fridge. In a 3-quart stainless steel saucier, combine water, sugar, and salt over medium heat. Stir with a fork until sugar is fully dissolved and syrup comes to a rolling boil, about 4 minutes. Simmer, without stirring, until syrup is honey-gold, roughly 9 minutes.
