Time 30m

Yield 32 candy apple slices

Number Of Ingredients 10

Cooking spray
2 cups sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
One 2-ounce box cinnamon candy
Few drops of red food coloring
Chopped peanuts
Shredded coconut
Assorted candies
2 firm apples, such as Jonathan or Fuji
2 firm Granny Smith Apples

Steps:

  • Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray. Set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan, bring the sugar, 1/2 cup water and corn syrup to a boil. Cook to 250 degrees F, or until the syrup spins a thread when poured from the edge of a cooking spoon. Pour in the candy pieces and continue cooking to 285 degrees F. Remove from the heat and add the food coloring to achieve the desired shade of red.
  • Put the chopped nuts, coconut and candies in shallow bowls. Set aside. Wash the apples thoroughly. Remove the stems from the apples and insert a popsicle stick into the center of the bottom of each apple.
  • Dip the apples quickly in the candy mixture, twisting as you dip to cover the entire apple. Roll the apples in the assorted toppings, coating the bottom half of each apple. Place on the greased cookie sheet and allow the coating to cool and harden. Remove the popsicle sticks and use an apple slicer or a sharp serrated knife to cut the apples into slices. Place a toothpick in each slice.

Time 18m

Yield 6 apples

Number Of Ingredients 8

Wooden sticks
6 Fuji or Granny Smith apples
1 bag candy corn
1 bag licorice bits
1 1/2 cups water
4 1/2 cups granulated sugar

Steps:

  • Clean apples. Place a wooden stick in the center of the apple. Set aside. Place the candy corn and licorice in separate bowls.
  • Place the water, sugar, and corn syrup in a clean 3-quart saucepot. Stir to form wet sand.
  • Place on medium flame until the sugar boils; at that point increase the heat to high. Occasionally, wash sides of pot with cold water and a brush, if needed, to prevent crystallization. Cook on high heat to 283 degrees F. Add red food coloring and swirl around in the pot; do not stir. Continue to cook to 300 degrees F. Remove from the heat and let rest for 3 minutes.
  • Dip the apple on an angle, rotating the apple clockwise, to coat the apple. Immediately roll the apple in candy corn or licorice. Set aside to cool.

OLD-FASHIONED RED CANDIED APPLES



Old-Fashioned Red Candied Apples image

These are the kind you found at the circus or carnival! Not the newer version covered with cramel. ;) Candy thermometer is needed for this, as well as popsicle sticks. The number of apples needed depends on the size of the apples, probably 4 medium ones. The recipe states that each batch candies approximately 1 dozen medium apples. I'm not sure I trust that. Cook time depends on your altitude where you live, heat of your burner, and pot used. NOTE: See review by Canada Goose for helpful hints! Thanks, CG!

CANDY APPLES

Serve these easy candy apples at a summer fête, on Bonfire Night, Halloween at a kids' birthday party. Experiment with fun and vibrant colours

Provided by Lulu Grimes

Categories     Treat

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 red apples
400g caster sugar
1 tsp lemon juice
4 tbsp golden syrup
a few drops red food colouring (optional)
8 sticks , chopsticks or lolly sticks

Steps:

  • Remove the stalks from the apples, then put them in a heatproof bowl and pour over boiling water from the kettle to cover them and leave for 3-4 mins. Remove with a slotted spoon and pat dry. (This removes the protective wax from the skin and makes the toffee stick to the apples better.)
  • Push the sharpest end of each stick into the stalk-end of each apple, making sure it's firmly wedged in. Put a large piece of baking parchment on a board.
  • Tip the sugar into a large saucepan, add the lemon juice and 100ml water. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sugar has dissolved. Swirl the pan gently to move the sugar around, but don't stir. Add the golden syrup and simmer the mixture (be careful it doesn't boil over) until it reaches 'hard crack' stage or 150C on a sugar thermometer. If you don't have a thermometer, test the toffee by dropping a small amount into cold water. It should harden instantly and, when removed, be brittle. If it's soft, continue to boil. When it's ready, drip in some food colouring, if you like, and swirl to combine. Turn off the heat.
  • Working quickly, dip each apple into the toffee, tipping the pan to cover it fully. Lift out and allow any excess to drip off back into the pan before placing on the baking parchment. Repeat with the remaining apples. Gently heat the toffee again, if you need to. Leave to set. Best eaten on the same day.

CANDY APPLES



Candy Apples image

Traditional candy apples are dipped in a vibrant syrup that's tinted red. This version skips the food coloring, and instead infuses the candy coating with cinnamon and vanilla. If you're worried about your teeth, serve these by slicing them, rather than trying to take a bite, as the candy coating sets to be quite firm. Be sure to start with room temperature apples as cold apples will cause the candy mixture to harden too quickly making it difficult to work with.

Categories     snack, candies, dessert

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 medium apples (about 1 1/2 pounds total), such as Granny Smith, McIntosh or Honeycrisp, preferably organic (see note), washed and dried, at room temperature
4 (8-inch) sturdy treat sticks
2 cups/405 grams granulated sugar
1/3 cup/80 milliliters light corn syrup
1 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped, or 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or a piece of lightly greased parchment paper. Place the apples onto the prepared baking sheet, and press a treat stick firmly into the stem end, into the center of each apple.
  • In a medium pot, combine the sugar, corn syrup, 1/2 cup water, vanilla bean seeds (discard the pod) or extract, cinnamon and salt. Stir the mixture over medium heat until the mixture begins to bubble at the edges, about 5 minutes - once it begins to bubble, stop stirring.
  • Cook the mixture (without stirring) until it reads 300 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, about another 10 to 15 minutes. Leave the syrup mixture in the pot, and cool to 275 degrees. (The mixture will cool quickly; if it cools too much, it can be reheated until fluid.)
  • Working quickly, dip 3/4 of an apple into the sugar syrup, tilting the pot as needed to coat. Hold the apple over the sugar syrup, letting the excess drip off, then transfer to the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining apples, reheating the sugar syrup as necessary. Cool completely before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Apples: Use firm, crisp apples that can hold their shape when coated in caramel. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn are all good choices.
  • Make Sure the Apples Are Dry: Before coating the apples in caramel, make sure they are completely dry. This will help the caramel adhere better.
  • Use a Candy Thermometer: A candy thermometer is essential for making caramel. It will help you ensure that the caramel reaches the correct temperature, which is between 235°F and 240°F.
  • Be Patient: Making caramel can take some time. Be patient and do not rush the process. If you rush, the caramel may not turn out correctly.
  • Dip the Apples Carefully: When dipping the apples in caramel, be careful not to drop them. If you drop an apple, it may break or the caramel may come off.
  • Let the Apples Cool Completely: After dipping the apples in caramel, let them cool completely before eating them. This will help the caramel to set and harden.

Conclusion:

Candy apples on the rocks are a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for any occasion. With a little planning and effort, you can make these treats at home. Just be sure to follow the tips above to ensure that your candy apples turn out perfectly.
