Tips for Making Cinnamon Candied Apples:

  • Choose the right apples. For the best results, use firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp. These apples will hold their shape and won't become too soft when cooked.
  • Make sure the apples are evenly coated in cinnamon sugar. This will help to ensure that they are evenly caramelized when they are cooked.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you are cooking multiple apples at once, make sure there is enough space between them so that they can cook evenly.
  • Cook the apples over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from burning.
  • Cook the apples until they are tender. The apples should be tender enough to easily pierce with a fork.
  • Serve the apples warm. Cinnamon candied apples are best served warm, when the caramel is still gooey.

Conclusion:

Cinnamon candied apples are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or just a simple snack. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make your own delicious cinnamon candied apples at home. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
