Ingredients
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cup water
  • 0.25 cup light corn syrup
  • 0.5 teaspoon red food coloring (or more for a deeper red)
  • 0.25 teaspoon cinnamon extract (optional)
  • 8 medium-sized apples (Granny Smith or Fuji work well)
  • Wooden skewers or sticks (for dipping)
Instructions
  1. 1
    1. Prepare the Apples: Wash and dry the apples thoroughly. Insert a wooden skewer into the stem end of each apple.
    2. Make the Candy Coating: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, water, and corn syrup. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
    3. Heat the Syrup: Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Let it cook for 8-10 minutes or until it reaches 300°F (hard crack stage) on a candy thermometer.
    4. Add Color and Flavor: Once the syrup reaches the desired temperature, remove from heat and stir in the red food coloring and cinnamon extract (if using).
    5. Dip the Apples: Dip each apple into the syrup, swirling to coat completely. Let any excess syrup drip off.
    6. Cool: Place the coated apples on a parchment-lined tray and let them cool for 30 minutes to harden.
