FRIDAY'S FAMILY FAVORITE

Fall is apple time. Apples are so versatile and healthy. In this month's FOOD NETWORK MAGAZINE is an insert entitled 50 Things to Make With Apples. Candy apples are always a favorite and two recipes caught my eye.

WITCH'S CANDY APPLES
Melt 1 1/4 c. cherry hard candies and 1 tbsp. light corn syrup in a small saucepan over medium heat (the mixture will be bubbly). Insert wooden sticks into 4 apples; dip in the candy coating. Set on oiled parchment paper to harden.

CARAMEL APPLES
Cook 1 1/2 c. sugar and 1/2 c. water in a saucepan over medium heat, swirling, until golden. Off the heat, stir in 1/4 c. cream and 1/4 tsp. each vanilla and salt. Transfer to a 4 cup liquid measuring cup; cool slightly. Insert wooden sticks into 4 apples; dip in the caramel. Set on oiled parchment paper to harden.
