Halloween Candy
- 8 Apples
- 8 Wooden Skewers
- 2 cups Granulated Sugar
- 1 cup Light Corn Syrup
- 1/2 cup Hot Water
- 1/2 cup Red Cinnamon Candies
Methods
- The first step is to prepare a baking sheet, by lining it with aluminum foil and spraying nonstick cooking spray on the foil.
- Wash the apples and dry them. Remove their stems and stick the skewers firmly in the ends of the stem.
- Mix water, corn syrup, and sugar in a saucepan and place it over medium high heat. Stir the mixture till the sugar dissolves and then, continue to cook until mixture reaches 250 degrees. Take a wet pastry brush and wash down the sides of the pan occasionally, to avoid crystallization.
- Add cinnamon candies, once the cooking temperature reaches 250 degrees. Stir briefly, to mix well. Continue to cook till the temperature reaches 285 degrees and keep washing the sides occasionally.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and stir the candy, to make it smooth and even. Dip an apple in the candy, while holding it with the skewer. Tilt the pan at an angle and rotate the apple, so that it is completely covered in a smooth and even layer.
- Now, take the apple out and remove excess candy from it and set it on the baking sheet you had prepared. Repeat the procedures with all the apples.
- Allow the apples to cool at room temperature. Consume the candy apples within 24 hours for a supreme taste.
