Candy apples✨ ▪️12 Mini Apples (or 8 Regular Apples)▪️12 Candy Apple Sticks▪️Parchment Paper▪️Oil Spray▪️1+1/2 Cups Water▪️3 Cups Sugar▪️1/2 tsp Cream of Tartar (prevents crystallization)▪️1/2 tsp Cinnamon▪️1/2 tsp Red Food Coloring▪️ 1️⃣ Clean and thoroughly dry the apples. Push the sticks into the stem side of the apples. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and spray with oil. 2️⃣ In a medium heavy pot over medium heat, combine the sugar, water, and cream of tartar. Cook while stirring until the sugar dissolves. Once the sugar dissolves, increase the heat to medium-high and boil until it’s amber in color and reaches 300F (10-15 mins). It’s important that the temperature is exactly 300F so monitor the temp with a candy thermometer or meat thermometer as the mixture boils. 3️⃣ Turn off the heat and quickly stir in the cinnamon and red food coloring. Working one at a time, hold each apple by the stick and dip it into the candy coating, tilting the pot as needed to fully coat the apple. Let any excess drip off, then place the coated apple on the parchment lined sheet pan. Repeat with the remaining apples until all are coated. Allow the candy to cool and harden completely (~15 mins), and enjoy! 4️⃣ Store the candy apples tightly wrapped in plastic wrap or wax paper to prevent them from sticking together. Keep them at room temp in a cool, dry place for up to 3 days. If candy hardens on your pot, soak with hot water to clean. ⏲30 minute total prep + cook time Recipe makes 12 mini candy apples For all recipes delivered to your inbox weekly (with printable PDFs) + access to the searchable recipe archive, subscribe to my newsletter via the link in my bio 😘 .
