Wash apples thoroughly and rub dry. Remove the stalks and stick the wooden skewers deep into the base. For the red loving apples, briefly boil 150 ml water, 500 g sugar and vinegar. Add food colouring and boil for about 6 minutes until bubbly. Pull the pot off the stove. (If you have a sugar thermometer, wait until 155 °C is reached.) Dip 4 apples one after the other in the syrup and turn them until they are completely covered with it. Put them on a tray sprinkled with sugar and let them cool
For the caramel apples, melt the remaining sugar until golden brown. Add 150 ml hot water and simmer for about 6 minutes. Remove from heat (sugar thermometer: 155 °C ). Dip 4 apples one after the other into the caramel and turn them until they are completely covered. Put them on a tray sprinkled with sugar and let them cool down. For the chocolate apples, chop the couverture and melt in a hot water bath. Dip the remaining apples into it, take them out while turning and place them on a cake rack. Let the chocolate coating dry
