Candied apples - carnivals, fairs, fall, Halloween.
They bring
back all sorts of childhood memories. You can make
them
at home and your kids or grandkids will love making
them with
you. You may not love the mess but I bet that's not
the part
they'll remember!
~ Red Candied Apples ~
8 Firm red apples
8 wooden sticks (washed popsicle sticks work great!)
3 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 cup water
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. red food coloring
Wash and dry your apples (make sure they are firm,
unbruised
apples). Remove the stem. Insert a wooden stick
where the
stem was. Grease a cookie sheet to set dipped
apples on.
Put sugar, syrup and water in a pot. Heat and stir
to dissolve.
Boil without stirring until liquid is 300F (150C) on
your candy
thermometer. At this temperature a drop of syrup in
cold water
will separate into brittle threads. Remove from
heat.
Mix in cinnamon and food coloring. Dip apples in
syrup. Drain
over saucepan. Set on cookie sheet. If the syrup
starts to
harden reheat it. Let apples cool before eating!!
~ Caramel Apples ~
8 firm apples
8 wooden sticks
1 1/3 cups evaporated milk
1/2 cup light corn syrup
2 cups granulated sugar
1 tbsp. butter or margarine
1 tsp. vanilla
Wash & dry apples. Remove stems. Insert wooden
stick where stem was.
Put milk, syrup, and sugar into pot. Heat and stir
to dissolve sugar.
Boil, stirring continually, until soft ball stage
(240 F or 115 C).
Soft ball stage is when a drop in cold water forms a
soft ball. Remove from heat.
Add butter and vanilla. Dip apples. Let excess
caramel drip off
over pan before setting on a greased cookie sheet.
Reheat caramel
if it starts to thicken. Let cool before eating.
