Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 6 apples
  • 6 Cinnamon or Popsicle Sticks
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon red food coloring (possibly more depending on type)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instruction

  • Wash and dry apples. Any moisture left on the skin will prevent the caramel from sticking. Insert Popsicle or cinnamon into the stem of the apple to use as a handle. Lay wax paper on a baking sheet and spray with cooking spray.
  • In a heavy saucepan combine all ingredients. Whisk until sugar is dissolved. When the mixture comes to a boil do not stir or whisk, only swirl the entire sauce pan every few minutes
  • Allow to boil over medium-high heat for approximately 10-15 minutes or until mixture reaches the hard crack stage. Use the cold water test described above to check the stage of your sugar.
  • Remove from heat and quickly dredge apples in mixture. set on baking sheet and allow to set.
  • Enjoy the same day as making. Humidity can impact the candy coating, preventing it from setting. For best results, make on a cool, dry fall day. Enjoy!
