Method

Combine brown sugar, water and corn syrup in a deep saucepan. Stir with a wooden spoon to blend; place over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Bring to a boil and continue cooking, without stirring, until the mixture is 290 degrees on a candy thermometer. Remove from heat and carefully stir in lemon extract. When the mixture stops bubbling, put the first apple in the saucepan to coat; scrape off excess syrup. Place apples on a buttered pan or buttered aluminum foil to solidify. To solidify quickly, immediately submerge the coated apple into ice water, then let drain on a dampened towel and place on the buttered pan.
