Homemade candied apples are a delightfully simple Halloween treat. Ingredients:
cooking spray |
8 (4-ounce) red delicious apples, stemmed |
1 cup sugar |
1/3 cup light-colored corn syrup |
1/3 cup water |
1/3 cup cinnamon decorator candies (such as red hots) |
Directions:
1. Line a large baking sheet with foil, and coat with cooking spray. Insert 1 (6-inch) white dowel into stem end of each apple.
2. Combine sugar, corn syrup, water, and candies in a small heavy saucepan over medium heat. Cook until sugar dissolves, stirring occasionally. Cook, without stirring, until a candy thermometer registers 300° (about 8 minutes). Remove from heat.
3. Working with 1 apple at a time, holding apple by its dowel, dip in syrup, tilting pan to cover apple. Turn apple quickly to coat evenly with syrup; let excess syrup drip back into pan. Place apple, dowel side up, on prepared baking sheet to harden (about 5 minutes).
