INGREDIENTS

  • 6 medium sized Granny Smith Apples cleaned and wax removed

candy coating

  • 2 cups Granulated Sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • ½ cup Corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 teaspoon Black Gel Food Color
  • wooden skewers or natural branches

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Wash the apples, and dry them using a kitchen towel. Remove the stem.
    Prepare a sheet pan with parchment paper and grease with butter on top.
    Use a metal straw to punch hole over the apple and insert a bamboo skewer or a natural branch if you want to.
  • To make the candy coating, add sugar and water in a saucepan over medium low heat.
    As the sugar dissolves, add corn syrup, vanilla extract and black food color.
    Stir to combine and let this mixture come to a slow boil over low heat. As the candy mixture comes to a boil, do not stir. Dip your spatula in water and then stir towards the end, to remove any sugar crystals which might have got stuck to the bottom of the pan.
    Use a candy thermometer to check the temp. It should be about 300F.
  • Carefully, remove the sugar mixture from heat.
    Dip the apples in the candy coating and place on the lined baking dish.
  • Repeat with remaining apples. Once the apples harden, serve.
