Time 25m

Yield Makes 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

Unsalted butter, softened, for parchment
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon black food coloring
8 red apples

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment, and lightly brush parchment with butter. Combine sugar, water, corn syrup, and food coloring in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-high. Boil until syrup reaches 300 degrees to 310 degrees (hard-crack stage) on a candy thermometer, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, insert a wooden dowel into the stem end of each apple, pushing halfway down. When syrup reaches desired temperature, immediately remove from heat. Working quickly, dip apples, 1 at a time, in caramel to coat. Transfer to baking sheet; let cool. Candy apples can be made up to 4 hours ahead; keep at room temperature until ready to serve.

These candy apples were a disappointment. They were too sweet and the caramel was too hard.

These candy apples were a bit too hard for my taste. I think I would have preferred them to be a little softer.

I had some trouble getting the caramel to coat the apples evenly. Other than that, these candy apples were delicious.
