CINNAMON CANDIED APPLES
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

OLD-FASHIONED RED CANDIED APPLES
These are the kind you found at the circus or carnival! Not the newer version covered with cramel. ;) Candy thermometer is needed for this, as well as popsicle sticks. The number of apples needed depends on the size of the apples, probably 4 medium ones. The recipe states that each batch candies approximately 1 dozen medium apples. I'm not sure I trust that. Cook time depends on your altitude where you live, heat of your burner, and pot used. NOTE: See review by Canada Goose for helpful hints! Thanks, CG!

Tips:
- Choose the Right Apples: Use firm, crisp apples that hold their shape well when cooked, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Pink Lady.
- Prepare Your Apples: Wash and dry the apples thoroughly. Remove the stems and cut the apples into thin slices, about 1/4-inch thick.
- Make the Candy Coating: Use a candy thermometer to accurately measure the temperature of the sugar syrup. Cook the syrup until it reaches the hard-crack stage (300-310°F).
