Recipe: Candy Apples (for kids)


Candy Apples

Ingredients


Popsicle sticks

6 Fuji or Granny Smith apples

1 1/2 cups water

4 1/2 cups granulated sugar

1 1/8 cups corn syrup

3/4 teaspoon red food coloring


Directions:

The first step is to clean apples. Place your Popsicle stick in the center of the apple.


Set your apples on the counter next to your stovetop.


Now, add the water, sugar, and corn syrup in a medium to large sized saucepot. Stir the ingredients together, it will look grainy.


Place the candy apple mixture on medium heat until the sugar boils. Once the sugar boils, turn the heat to high. You will need to occasionally clean the sides of pot with cold water and a brush. This will prevent the mixture from crystallizing. Cook the mixture eon on high heat to 283 degrees F.


Once the mixture has come to this temperature, add red food coloring and swirl around in the pot, do not stir. Continue to cook to 328 degrees F. Remove from the heat and let rest for 3 – 5 minutes. The next step requires a little caution. The candy apple mixture is extremely hot. Dip the apple on an angle.


Twirl the apple around to coat it. Place the coated candy apple on a sheet of wax paper that has been sprayed with Pam.
