THE BEST RED CANDY APPLES



The Best Red Candy Apples image

These are awesome. The candy is really crunchy and easy to eat. They remind you of the fair. I use Granny Smith Apples because it's the perfect combination of tart and sweet. You don't taste the lemon juice at all, but it give the candy the perfect flavor.

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Time 30m

Yield 32 candy apple slices

Number Of Ingredients 10

Cooking spray
2 cups sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
One 2-ounce box cinnamon candy
Few drops of red food coloring
Chopped peanuts
Shredded coconut
Assorted candies
2 firm apples, such as Jonathan or Fuji
2 firm Granny Smith Apples

Steps:

  • Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray. Set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan, bring the sugar, 1/2 cup water and corn syrup to a boil. Cook to 250 degrees F, or until the syrup spins a thread when poured from the edge of a cooking spoon. Pour in the candy pieces and continue cooking to 285 degrees F. Remove from the heat and add the food coloring to achieve the desired shade of red.
  • Put the chopped nuts, coconut and candies in shallow bowls. Set aside. Wash the apples thoroughly. Remove the stems from the apples and insert a popsicle stick into the center of the bottom of each apple.
  • Dip the apples quickly in the candy mixture, twisting as you dip to cover the entire apple. Roll the apples in the assorted toppings, coating the bottom half of each apple. Place on the greased cookie sheet and allow the coating to cool and harden. Remove the popsicle sticks and use an apple slicer or a sharp serrated knife to cut the apples into slices. Place a toothpick in each slice.
