THE BEST RED CANDY APPLES
These are awesome. The candy is really crunchy and easy to eat. They remind you of the fair. I use Granny Smith Apples because it's the perfect combination of tart and sweet. You don't taste the lemon juice at all, but it give the candy the perfect flavor.

Steps:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; butter parchment, and set aside. In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine sugar, 3/4 cup water, corn syrup, and food coloring, if using. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat to medium-high. Insert candy thermometer and continue to boil until temperature reaches between 300 degrees and 310 degrees (hard crack stage), about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, insert a wooden stick into the top of each apple, pushing about halfway through; set aside. When mixture reaches temperature, immediately remove from heat. Working quickly, dip apples in sugar mixture until completely coated. Transfer to prepared baking sheet; allow to cool.
Tips:
- Choose the right apples: Use firm, crisp apples that will hold their shape when cooked. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady are good choices.
- Make sure your apples are thoroughly dry before dipping them in the candy coating. Otherwise, the coating will not adhere properly.
- Dip the apples in the candy coating quickly and evenly. Do not let the coating pool at the bottom of the apple.
- Place the coated apples on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and let them cool completely. Do not refrigerate the apples, as this will cause the coating to become cloudy.
- Store the candy apples in a cool, dry place for up to two weeks.
Conclusion:
Ruby red candy apples are a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for Halloween, Christmas, or any other special occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized with your favorite toppings. So next time you are looking for a fun and festive treat, give ruby red candy apples a try!
