Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium apples
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Food coloring (various colors)
- Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Wash and dry the apples thoroughly, then insert a stick into the top of each apple.
- In a saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
- Bring the mixture to a boil without stirring until it reaches the hard crack stage (around 300°F or 150°C).
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
- Divide the candy mixture into separate bowls and add food coloring to each bowl to create different colors.
- Dip each apple into the colored candy mixture, allowing excess to drip off.
- Place the dipped apples on a parchment-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with sprinkles if desired.
- Let the candy coating harden before serving.
Notes
- Make sure to use a candy thermometer for accurate temperature readings.
- Allow the candy coating to cool slightly before dipping the apples to prevent them from becoming too soft.
- Experiment with different colors and toppings for a unique look.
