OLD-FASHIONED RED CANDIED APPLES
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!

- 5. Quickly dip the apples, twisting to cover, and set on a greased cookie sheet.
- 6. NOTES: You may want to use a deep, narrow pan, and tilt it to cover the apples well. You should not make the coating too thick as it will be hard to bite through to the apple. A reviewer suggested that you could also make the coating orange, and reserve some to tint black. The drizzle the black over the up-turned apples! The same reviewer said she covered 12 medium apple.
Tips:
- Choose the right apples: Granny Smith apples are a popular choice for candy apples because they hold their shape well and have a tart flavor that complements the sweetness of the candy coating.
- Wash and dry the apples thoroughly: This will help the candy coating adhere to the apples.
- Use a candy thermometer: This will help you ensure that the candy coating reaches the correct temperature, which is important for achieving the right consistency.
- Be careful when dipping the apples in the candy coating: The coating is very hot, so use tongs or a fork to hold the apples and dip them quickly.
- Let the candy coating cool completely before eating the apples: This will help the coating harden and become firm.

Old-fashioned candied apples are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for Halloween, Christmas, or any other special occasion. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create these classic treats at home. So next time you're looking for a fun and easy dessert, give candied apples a try!
