Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use a variety of apples that are good for applesauce, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Pink Lady. These apples will hold their shape well when cooked and will give the candy a tart and flavorful taste.
  • Use fresh lemon juice: Fresh lemon juice will help to brighten the flavor of the applesauce candy and prevent it from becoming too sweet.
  • Cook the applesauce until it is thick: The applesauce should be thick enough to hold its shape when dropped from a spoon. This will help the candy to set properly.
  • Use a candy thermometer: A candy thermometer is essential for making applesauce candy. It will help you to ensure that the applesauce reaches the correct temperature before removing it from the heat.
  • Be careful when working with hot sugar: Hot sugar can cause severe burns. Be sure to wear gloves and safety goggles when handling it.
