Home Made Candy Apples 🍎 #homemade

Back in October 2019 I was in desperate need of a treat that would not only keep my kids entertained while helping me make it but that they would actually enjoy. And nothing can compare to home made Candy Apples🍎 made by your's truly.

Thanks to @allrecipes for this recipe

INGREDIENTS:

* Unsalted butter 

* 2 cups of white sugar

* 3/4 cups of water

* 1/2 cup of light corn syrup

* 1/2 teaspoon of red food coloring. (Any color is optional)

* 6 medium apples ( red or green as preferred)

INSTRUCTIONS 

* Let's start by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper and cover the sheet with the unsalted butter and set aside for a few minutes. 

* In a medium heavy bottomed saucepan, combine the white sugar, 3/4 cups of water, corn syrup and the preferred food coloring you choice. Bring to boil over high heat and reduce the heat to medium high. Insert a candy thermometer and continue to boil for about 15 minutes or until the temperature reaches about 300-315 degrees Fahrenheit.

*In the meantime, you can start inserting the wooden sticks into the top of each of the apples. Push the wooden sticks about halfway through and set the apples aside. 

* When the mixture has reached temperature, immediately remove it from heat. ( we dint want the syrup to burn)

. Working rapidly, dip the apples into the sugar mixture until its completely coated. Then transfer it to the baking sheet.

*Allow it to cool for at least 30 minutes.

NOTE: When dipping the apples to the sugar mixture after you can dip into cashew, sprinkles, m&ms etc.
