2. Red vegetable coloring (paste or liquid)
3. Oil of anise or oil of cinnamon for flavor.

Toffy apples are dipped in the same manner as caramel apples (Lesson XII).  Place dipped apples on greased pans.

Special comment

1. Toffy apples should be sold the same day as prepared, especially in hot, humid weather, as coating tends to become soft and sticky.
2. This is a very inexpensive method for making dipped apples.  These apples are a great favorite with young children.
