Make sure you wash the apples well - the coating won't stick unless they're really clean

Steps

1

Have a baking sheet lined with parchment paper ready
2

Clean and dry the apples, try and buy organic ones so they're unwaxed
3

Insert a clean twig into each. You may want to sharpen the end of the twig first to make this easier or make a small hole with a knife as a starting point
4

Put the sugar, syrup and water in a pan. Add red colouring until you're happy. A little black added will give a deeper shade of red. Heat until boiling. The temp needs to reach 150C / 300°F on a candy thermometer
5

Remove from the heat and stir in the flavoured oil
6

Dip a yellow apple into the mixture, swirling it around as you lift it out to get an even coating
7

When it starts to harden, place it on the baking sheet. Repeat for the other 3 yellow apples, reheating as necessary if the coating gets too stiff
8

Now add more black colouring to the pan
9

Repeat the dipping process with the red apples and set aside to harden and cool
10

If you haven't cleaned the wax coating off properly this will happen...

Telling the tale of Snow White goes well after serving these....
