Delicious candy apples coated in a sweet, red syrup perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1½ cups water
- 2 cups white sugar
- 8 drops red food coloring
- 15 medium apples, washed and dried
- 15 craft sticks
- 1 spray cooking spray
Instructions
- Lightly grease your cookie sheets and insert craft sticks into the stemmed apples.
- In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, water, and corn syrup over medium-high heat.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then insert a candy thermometer.
- Continue boiling without stirring until the temperature reaches 300 to 310°F (149 to 154°C).
- At this stage, a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water should form hard, brittle threads.
- Remove from heat and add food coloring.
- Holding each apple by its stick, dip it into the syrup, turning it to ensure even coverage.
- Place the coated apples on the prepared sheets to allow them to harden.
Notes
- Ensure all apples are thoroughly dried for the best coating.
- Be careful when working with hot syrup to avoid burns.
