EASY HOMEMADE CANDY APPLES



Easy Homemade Candy Apples image

Add color and crunch to your holiday table with an easy recipe for candy apples.

Provided by Kelly Senyei

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 small red or green apples (any variety)
12 lollipop or popsicle sticks
3 cups sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 cup water
1/2 teaspoon red food coloring
Equipment: candy thermometer

Steps:

  • Wash and thoroughly dry the apples (See Kelly's Notes below). Insert the lollipop sticks or popsicle sticks so that they are firmly positioned in the apples. Set the apples aside on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper coated with cooking spray.
  • Combine the sugar, corn syrup and water in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Bring it to a boil and cook the mixture until a candy thermometer reaches 300ºF (the hard crack stage).
  • Remove the candy mixture from the heat and carefully stir in the red food coloring. (It may splash, so stand back. And you may have to add more than the designated 1/2 teaspoon, depending on the quality and strength of your food coloring.)
  • One by one, carefully dip the apples into the candy mixture, swirling to coat them thoroughly and allowing any excess to drip back into the pan. Transfer the coated apples to the prepared cookie sheet and allow them to cool until the candy has fully hardened.

Nothing but fruit: These thin slices will need a couple of hours in the oven to dry out and firm up, but it's mostly hands-off -- you'll just need to flip them halfway through.

APPLE CHIPS

The simple syrup really makes a difference with these apple chips. It makes them shiny and more crispy. You can reuse the syrup to sweeten tea or make another batch of apple chips.

Categories     appetizer

Time 13h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cups water
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 to 3 lemons, juiced
2 small apples, preferably a crisp, flavorful variety like Royal Gala or Winesap, washed and dried

Steps:

  • In a small pot, combine the water and sugar and bring to a gentle boil over medium heat. Set aside to cool.
  • Place the apples on a flat surface. Using a mandoline or sharp knife, cut each one, placing the core end of the apple in front of the blade, into rounds as thin as you can manage. Remove any seeds as you cut and sprinkle them with lemon juice. Submerge the apple slices in the syrup and allow them to "rest" for a few hours or, even better, overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
  • Remove some of the apples from the syrup and lightly dry them on a kitchen towel. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet with parchment or on a tray fitted with a baking rack. Note: you may want to place something heavy, like a metal spoon, at each end of the paper to prevent the paper from folding over as the chips bake. Bake in the oven until crispy, about 1 hour.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use firm, crisp apples that will hold their shape well when sliced. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady apples are all good choices.
  • Slice the apples evenly: This will help them cook evenly. Use a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer to get thin, even slices.
  • Coat the apples in the sugar mixture: This will help them caramelize and get that delicious candy coating.
  • Bake the apple chips at a low temperature: This will help them dry out slowly and evenly. Bake them for about 2 hours, or until they are crispy.
  • Let the apple chips cool completely: This will help them crisp up even more. Once they are cool, they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Candy apple chips are a delicious and easy-to-make snack that is perfect for fall. They are also a great way to use up leftover apples. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a batch of candy apple chips that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you have a craving for something sweet and crunchy, try making these candy apple chips. You won't be disappointed!
