For years, we enjoyed candied apples at Christmas when my great-grandmother made them. When she passed away, no one could find the recipe. I eventually came across this stovetop version and have continued her tradition. -Angie Marquart, Mt. Gilead, Ohio

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples. Use firm, tart apples that will hold their shape when cooked. Granny Smith apples are a popular choice.
  • Make sure the candy coating is hot. If the candy coating is not hot enough, it will not adhere to the apples.
  • Work quickly. The candy coating will start to harden as it cools, so you need to work quickly to dip the apples and coat them with cinnamon sugar.
  • Use a variety of toppings. In addition to cinnamon sugar, you can also use other toppings such as chopped nuts, sprinkles, or even bacon bits.
  • Be creative. Have fun and experiment with different flavor combinations. You could try using different types of apples, candy coatings, and toppings.

Conclusion:

Hot cinnamon candy-covered apples are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover Halloween candy. So next time you have a sweet tooth, be sure to give this recipe a try.
