how do i make candy apples?

Answer 1

I was going to try this receipe let me know how it works.

Caramel Apples


This classic gooey extravaganza makes a glossy caramel coating that sticks to the apples without pulling out your fillings.
1 1/2 tbsp. butter
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar
6 tbsp. water
Popsicle sticks
8 to 10 apples (McIntoshes work well)


Step 1
Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the brown sugar and water. Stir until it has a smooth consistency.

Step 2
Gently bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 3 minutes, until the pan's sides get steamy and the mixture is thin but somewhat sticky. Remove from heat.

Step 3
Pierce the center of each apple with a Popsicle stick, then swirl in the caramel syrup until coated. Place apples on a greased cookie sheet to harden. Refrigerate for at least 1 to 2 hours. Serves 8 to 10.

Found this recipe. Make sure you use a candy thermometer or it will not set and be the hard coating that you expect.

Answer 4

Get one of the candy apple making kits they sell in the store by all the apples! I think that would be easiest.

Answer 5

you can usually buy a bag of milk maid caramels that have an easy recipe on the back and come with the popsicle sticks too.

what I like to do after I've coated mine in caramel and let it sit for a little bit is to melt chocolate, white chocolate and butterscotch chips in the microwave and coat the apples in that and then roll them in candy bits, or crushed cookie.
