Recipe type: Sweets, Candy, Halloween
Serves: 6-12 apples
Ingredients
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- ¾ cups water
- ½ cup liquid glucose/light corn syrup
- few drops black gel food colouring
- 6 Granny Smith apples (or 12 small apples) (Ensure your apples are fresh and haven't been waxed)
Instructions
- Grease a piece of baking paper and place on a tray/baking sheet.
- Insert bamboo skewers in all the apples and set aside.
- In a medium pot, combine the sugar, water, glucose/corn syrup and food colouring and stir over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture feels smooth when you rub it between your fingers.
- When the sugar has dissolved, turn the heat up and wash the sides of the pot down with a pastry brush dipped into clean water to prevent crystals from forming.
- Allow the caramel to boil until it reaches the hard crack stage (150°c/310°F).
- Carefully
dip the apples into the hot candy mixture and place on the baking paper
to set and cool for approximately an hour before serving.

The magic ingredients for these bewitching apples?
A deep crimson variety like Red Delicious, a few drops of food coloring—plus a dash of spicy cinnamon.
(Skewers: Twigs from your yard work just fine! Use a damp paper towel to wipe clean.)
Ingredients
U.S. Metric
6 (or up to 8) Red Delicious Apples
3 cup(s) Sugar
1 cup(s) Water
1/2 cup(s) Light Corn Syrup
1/2 teaspoon(s) Cinnamon-Flavored Oil
1/4 tablespoon(s) Red Food Coloring
Directions
Remove stems and skewer apples (see "Tricks for Sticks," below).
In a saucepan over high heat, with a candy thermometer attached, heat sugar, water, and light corn syrup, stirring until sugar dissolves.
Bring to a boil until mixture reaches 300 degrees F. Remove from heat, and stir in 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon-flavored oil and 1/4 tablespoon red food coloring.
To make red apples: Dip apples, one at a time, then transfer to a greased baking sheet.
Let cool, about 10 minutes.
To make black apples: Add 1/4 tablespoon black food coloring to your red syrup.
(If the syrup has thickened, reheat briefly.)
Dip apples, one at a time, then transfer to a greased baking sheet.
Let cool, about 10 minutes.
Tips & Techniques
Tricks for Sticks: First, simply twist off the stem.
If your skewer is blunt, sharpen it using a utility knife to slice off one end at a diagonal angle.
Then, working on a flat surface, firmly grip your apple and push the skewer two-thirds of the way in.
If any juice leaks out, blot the fruit with a paper towel before dipping.
Apple Prep: Wash, put in stick (or cut), Boiling water, rinse, dry thoroughly.
If no sticks, then cut into 8ths. Wash in citric acid (liquid) and dip with your finger.
Product find: Oil of Cinnamon + Red Food Color
If you were to use just straight caramels (Brach's mix) then you'll need about 8-12 caramels per medium sized apple ... so you'll need about 80-120 caramels for a dozen apples.
Use very low heat... recommend the microwave oven.
Stir in 1 tbsp butter or Crisco per 40 caramels.
If you use ready-made caramel you should choose the firm type (#102-NC30 Caramel Loaf by Nestles').
A Fun & Easy Kids Recipe
Whether you have snow on the ground or you're lucky enough to be surrounded by palm trees, you can still have winter fun with a snowman! Try these candy apples which are layered in white chocolate, snowflake sprinkles and decorated with M&M's and chocolate chips.
Here's what you need:
Apples
Wilton Lollipop Sticks
Wilton White Melting Candy
Snowflake Sprinkles
M&Ms (we used brown and red)
Mini Nestles Chocolate Chips
(If you don't have Snowflake Sprinkles, you could always use plain white sprinkles, or coconut flakes might even work too. We tried to experiment with mini marshmallows, but they were too fluffy.)
Here's a quick how-to-guide on making a Snowman Candy Apple:
1) First, you take a small apple (any type of apple will work). And, place a lollipop stick in the core of the apple.
2) Cover the bottom of a plate with your Snowflake Candy sprinkles. Make sure you have enough sprinkles to roll your apples in the snowflakes and almost completely cover the apples. You'll need this plate in a couple of minutes, but, for now, just keep it to the side. Get your M&M's and chocolate chips ready too.
3) It's time to melt your white Wilton Melting Candy. First, fill a measuring cup with the melting candy to the one cup line.
I followed the instructions on the Wilton package, which said to microwave the Candy Melts at 40% power (or defrost setting) for 1 minute. Stir the candy thoroughly and then continue microwaving and stirring at 30-second intervals until smooth and completely melted. *Using about 1 cup of melting candies allowed me to cover 4 small apples.
4) Then, quickly dip your apples into the melted candy.
Cover the entire apple in the melted white candy (make sure you have a nice thick coating), and then immediately roll the covered apples into the snowflake candy sprinkles.
5) Use the melted candy to fasten the M&M's (for the eyes) and chocolate chips (for the mouth) onto your snowman.
Here are three Snowman Candy Apples that we made. Aren't they so darn cute?

It seems like trick-or-treating is going the way of the dinosaurs – everybody is doing school and church fairs these days instead, at least in my neck of the woods. Bring back the good old days with some gorgeous and delicious homemade caramel apples and knock everyone’s socks off at the same time!
Caramel apples are actually really easy to make and keep well for quite a while. If you want to start completely from scratch, try this caramel recipe – I’ve used it and it was delish. Or, use store-bought caramels for a quicker version. Either way, make sure to briefly dip your apples in boiling water and dry well before dipping into the caramel. This removes the waxy coating and keeps your caramel from sliding off. After being covered in caramel, refrigerate until set, then dip them into some tempered Dove chocolate, drizzle with white chocolate and roll in nuts, chopped candies or sprinkles for a fabulous, gourmet-style apple better than you’ll find in any store!

LUNATIC FUDGE RECIPE--Can Be Used For Candy Apples
--------------------
(c) 1997 T. Skaarup. Original recipe. May be copied without modification. All rights reserved.)
1/4 cup Butter or Margarine (1/2 stick, chilled)
2 1/2 cup Sugar
2/3 cup Evaporated Milk (or Small 5 oz can)
10-12 oz Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips -or-
Milk Chocolate Chips -or-
Chocolate Mint Chips -or-
White Chips -or-
Peanut Butter Chips -or-
Butterscotch Chips (1 package)
6-7 oz Marshmallow Creme or Marshmallow Fluff
(may substitute 2 cups of mini-marshmallows)
1 cup Walnuts or Pecans (chopped)
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Directions:
Line a 9" x 9" pan with aluminum foil and set aside.
Place flavor chips, vanilla, and nuts into a 3-quart saucepan or Pyrex glass dish and set aside. Set butter aside to
warm. Heat milk at Medium setting until warm then add sugar. Bring to a rolling boil (Medium-High) while stirring
constantly with a wooden spoon. Add marshmallow creme. Bring back to a boil for [5] full minutes by the clock
(start once the boil resumes). Use the lowest flame possible to keep the rolling boil.
The mixture will start to turn brown during the boil. If you get brown flakes in the mixture then turn down the heat a
little.
Remove from heat and add the butter. Mix until butter is melted then pour hot mixture over chips, vanilla, and nuts
without scraping the sides of the hot saucepan. Mix thoroughly and pour into prepared pan. Cool at room
temperature. Remove from pan, remove foil, cut into squares.
*NOTE: If you want Peanut Butter Fudge but don't want/have peanut butter flavored chips, use 1 cup of real peanut
butter (Skippy or Jif and reduce the butter to 1/8 cup (1/4 stick).
MORE: (From my message board-Helen-PA): I use the Nestles caramel loaf, then dip in mini marshmallows or others & finish w/honey crushed nut topping, or english toffee, mini choc. milk, dark or white wafers, etc. I charge $12.00 for each apple right now.

(Makes 12-20 apples)
Prepare the caramel apples as above - or use your own caramel mix. Roll the warm caramel apples in chopped peanuts or cashews or mini-marshmallows or Rice Krispies or Gummi-Bears or whatever... Chill. Then...
Prepare a single batch of Lunatic Fudge (using Semi-Sweet Chocolate or Milk Chocolate Chips). Don't cast the fudge into a pan but instead keep the mixture warm (Low or Med-Low heat) then dip the chilled apples into the chocolate fudge and let cool on waxed paper. Alternatively, you can use a wooden spoon to "dribble" the hot chocolate fudge over the apples for a dramatic effect.
You can make more Royal Apples since you will only need to coat the apples once in the caramel mix, then roll into the nuts.
Massively good. Pour any remaining Lunatic Fudge into a small pan or cup-cake tins.
LUNATIC FUDGE - Quick and easy way to make Dark, Medium, and Light Chocolate Fudge, Vanilla Fudge, Peanut Butter Fudge, Butterscotch Fudge, or just about any other flavor of which you can think.

- You will need Granny Smith or Jonathan Apples for this recipe - you really need a TART apple to counter the SWEETNESS of this...
1 can Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk
1 stick Butter
1 lb Caramel Loaf
To caramel - add butter - then add can milk... put in microwave for several minutes - be careful not to scorch... I pull mine out and stir it every so often.
The nice thing about this is that you can use it and then keep the leftovers in the frig and just reheat in microwave - it still is as fresh as when you made it. The butter helps with this.
ENJOY - I usually slice my apple - however, we have been known to drizzle this over popcorn - and have cream cheese on the side to serve with it. It is delicious but VERY RICH!!!!
