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

HOW TO MAKE CANDY APPLE SLICES
Steps:
- Set up everything you will be using to decorate your Candy Apple Slices.
- Set out one or two baking sheets lined with a piece of parchment or wax paper. (This is so your chocolate covered apple slices don't stick)
- In small individual bowls, place the chocolates and caramels you will be using to cover the apple slices in. Dark chocolate, milk chocolate, white chocolate all work fine. I prefer the melting disks from the craft store for this since they melt evenly and smoothly.
- Slice apples to about a 1/8 inch thickness. You can have all sizes of slices to not waste the apples OR just eat the smaller ends instead of dipping them, your call.
- At the bottom of each apple slice, make a small slice 3/4 of the way through, gently but firmly press a candy stick into the apple and push it up into the apple a bit. Place the apples on your parchment paper-lined baking sheets.
- Melt the chocolate you will be covering your slices in and with a spoon, spoon the melted chocolate onto one apple slice at a time, making sure you have coated the top and sides and secured the stick with chocolate.
- Gently flip it over and do the other side. If decorating with sprinkles, jimmies or candies, do so quickly before the chocolate begins to harden.
- Melt additional chocolate for drizzling (white on dark or dark on white) and drizzle onto chocolate-covered slices.
- Melt caramel and do the same. Caramel will solidify fast, so move quick. A small spoon will work for drizzling the caramel.
- To melt the chocolates as well as the caramel, place each separately in small bowls and one at a time, microwave in 15-30 second bursts, stirring in between until you can stir the chocolate and it becomes smooth. Caramel will take a little less time. Be careful not to burn.
- Once all slices are finished being candied and decorated, place your tray(s) in the fridge for 15 minutes to ensure all is heartened.
- Best if enjoyed within 24 hours.
- No nutritional information is given since apple slice sizes and chocolate and toppings used are not finite.

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!

Steps:
- In a small saucepan set over medium heat, combine sugar, corn syrup, and 1/2 cup water. Gently stir with a fork just until sugar is dissolved. Raise heat to medium-high and bring to a boil.
- Add cinnamon candies to pot and continue boiling, washing down the sides of the saucepan with a wet pastry brush occasionally to prevent sugars from crystallizing.
- When mixture registers 302 degrees (hard crack) on a candy thermometer, remove from heat and stir in food coloring. Let stand until candy stops boiling and settles in bottom of saucepan, 1-2 minutes.
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and coat with nonstick cooking spray. Insert candy apple sticks or wooden craft sticks into stem end of apples. Carefully tilt pan and dip apples into candy, swirling to coat all sides. Allow excess candy to fall back into saucepan; transfer apples to prepared baking sheet to cool and harden.
