Apples dipped in a sugar coating that “candies”. First invented by William W. Kolb in Newark, New Jersey in 1908 using red hot candies, candy apples have traditionally taken on a cinnamon flavor, but over the years it’s become popular to simply use a little red food coloring, which is what we do here.
INGREDIENTS
Cooking spray
2 c. granulated sugar
3/4 c. water
1/2 c. light corn syrup
16 drops red food coloring
6 medium Granny Smith apples
DIRECTIONS
Grease a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Line with parchment and grease parchment with cooking spray.
Insert a wooden stick into the top of each apple, pushing about halfway through. Set aside.
In a medium heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat, combine sugar, 3/4 cup water, corn syrup, and food coloring and bring to a boil. Insert candy thermometer and continue to boil until temperature reaches between 300° and 310°, about 15 to 20 minutes. Immediately remove from heat.
Working quickly and carefully—coating will be extremely hot—coat apples in candy mixture and transfer to prepared baking sheet.
Let cool completely before serving.
