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!

STATE FAIR RED CANDY APPLES
This receipe was given to me when I was 8 yrs old by our neighbors mom. Every year at the towns Halloween Carnival, she would make hundreds of these to sell at one of the booths. These were my favorite thing to make for my own kids while they were growing up. This receipe has always been part of my childhood!!!

Steps:
- 1. Grease 2 cookie sheets. Wash and dry apples and put popsickle sticks in them and have them ready to be dipped into the hot candy.
- 2. Spray a large pot with cooking spray.Put a candy thermometer on side of pot(do not let it touch bottom). On high temperature, mix all ingrediants, STIRRING CONSTANTLY(this will take awhile).Allow temperature to reach 277 degrees(or soft crack). DO NOT OVERCOOK.You know candy is ready when it forms a ball when a little dropped in a glass of cool water.
- 3. Immediately remove from heat. And start dipping apples in the HOT candy.BE CAREFULL, THE CANDY IS EXTREMELY HOT!!!After dipping apples in candy, swirl apple around to keep candy on apple and let the apple drip for a few seconds and put them on the greased cookie sheets.WORK FAST, as the hot liquid as it cools will get hard.
- 4. When finished dipping all the apples, make sure you put some HOT water in your pot and get the candy out as soon as possable, or you will have a big mess. Also clean all candy drippings, spoons, etc. This candy when dry, dries like glue.
- 5. If you want to cool fast, put in refrigerator for a few minutes. But do not store in refrigerator, because the candy will slide right off the apple. Keep in airtight container when hard or wrap in wax paper.
Tips:
- Use a variety of apples for a more interesting flavor and texture. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn are all good choices.
- Make sure the apples are completely dry before dipping them in the candy coating. This will help the coating to adhere evenly.
- Use a candy thermometer to ensure that the candy coating reaches the correct temperature. This will help to prevent the coating from becoming too hard or too soft.
- Be careful when dipping the apples in the candy coating. The coating is very hot and can cause burns.
- Place the coated apples on a greased baking sheet or parchment paper to cool. This will help to prevent the coating from sticking to the pan.
- Decorate the apples with sprinkles, nuts, or other toppings before the coating hardens. This will add a festive touch to your candy apples.
Conclusion:
Candy apples are a classic fall treat that are enjoyed by people of all ages. They are relatively easy to make, and they are a great way to use up leftover apples.
