The Best Candy Apple Recipe!

[@elanasmith415]

How much sugar, corn syrup and water

[@Dellicatspurr]

I really appreciate how you put safety in with your video, candy sugar can be hurtful and dangerous

[@CatsPajamas23]

Loved these holiday treats when I was a little girl.

[@oliviaprice5678]

I'd love to Cinnamon I've been eating them ever since

[@marylyn5965]

When I was a kid, our neighbour made candy apples, caramel ones, and popcorn balls to give out on Halloween. This was during the 70s. Thanks for the memories!

[@SugarGeekShow]

Yummy!! I used to love those popcorn balls

[@mominthe209]

Yes, we would try to remember who made the best popcorn balls and get there first. Sad kids miss out on simple times.

[@HeinzrichPangestu]

wait how old are you?

[@MsFriendly2009]

I have a neighbor who continues to do this. I love popcorn balls.

[@AshleyAshleyAshley395]

I just made old fashioned steen’s popcorn balls last night. My son went to the fair today and couldn’t find candy apples. So I’m here now to surprise him with candy apples. I use to use the pre made stuff when he was a few years old. I haven’t made them in 10 years. I wanna try homemade ones now.

[@sunshineandflowers6499]

Hi Liz, thank you so much for this demonstration on how to make these delicious apples. Here in Australia, they are called 'toffee apples' and I used to buy them for my kids (and me) whenever there was a school fete or if I saw them for sale in the supermarket. I haven't seen them around for years. I am so grateful for you showing us how it is done. I will now be trying out your method for my grandchildren. Hugs from Melbourne.

[@JustAnotherBuckyLover]

we call them toffee apples too. And they're never flavoured really, even if they're very occasionally red.

[@madisoncastle5138]

That’s right!

[@helpfulnatural]

When you added the sparkle to the sugar I immediately thought, this is where the term "candy apple red" came from in reference to an awesome car color! :)

[@SugarGeekShow]

So pretty!! They were my favorite :D

[@raybearNC]

Hello Liz, I watched your Caramel Apple video & this Candy Apple recipe, I washed and refrigerated my apples yesterday and today I'm making your Caramel Apples recipe! I'm so excited!😃Next I'm going to make theses Candy Apples. I wanted to commend you on your videos for being one of the ONLY KZbin Chefs that actually addresses SAFETY prior to starting this project. Kitchen injuries are the most common household injuries and especially important when work with molten sugar. As an ex-military Safety Officer, I'd like to thank you for that! I wish more KZbinr Chefs would take a moment, like you did, and just alert the audience to potential safety risks. Most KZbinrs just jump right in to the recipe, without so much as a mention that sever burns can occur. Thank You Liz!

[@denisem1632]

Hi 👋 it's been so so long since I've had a candy apple 🍎. You brought back great memories. Thanks for the great share. 🙂

[@SugarGeekShow]

Thanks for watching!! 😄💕

[@fall22123]

They're impossible to find where I live. We only have caramel apples. So I made them myself! I don't understand why someone wouldn't want to use a candy thermometer. It's precise. It pretty much guarantees it will turn out. I actually avoid recipes that say "boil for X-number minutes".

[@Kt-cn2rq]

Husband told me to guess I need buy a candy thermometer

[@benjamintan6750]

would it be easier to eat with the soft crack?

[@lynnclark4208]

I love the flash dust! Where did you purchase it? Oh, I'm new here. THANK YOU! 😊😊😊😊

❤❤❤ I like them just plain with no cinnamon. They are delicious!!! ❤❤❤

Good evening I am doing a sweet treat goodie bags for my wedding reception next June. I am in need of 320 candied apples. May I ask the amount of ingredients and if I can do this in a large pot? Thank you

Clove is the traditional seasoning. Corn syrup is also not traditionally In a candy apple.

My MIL had a complete failure making candy apples using a kit. She made them ahead of time for a kids event and was absolutely heartbroken to find the candy coating had melted off even being wrapped up in a treat bag. I found your video in my search for an answer and you provided all the information of what might have happed and why. I love how informative your tutorial was and am now subscribed!

[@SugarGeekShow]

Thanks so much! Welcome to the sugar geek fam 🥰

I have no intention of making these but still watched from start to finish, including commercials to support ❤ I'd love to make caramel apples if you can do a video on that.

[@theresamcalister302]

If you buy your apples from an orchard - they don’t put wax on them. Only the grocery stores/ retail stores. Hence only need to wash the dirt off. No need for hot water.

[@abidingonthestraightandnar5330]

Wow they turned out so pretty in color! 😍 I love candy apples, but not what is out today I grew up in the 70's and apple taffy's what we called them back then were different they had a hard crispy crunchy candy coating whereas today it's a sticky thick candy coating. I may try yours, because they look to have that crispy candy coating, may I ask where did you purchase your candy thermometer from? thank you, and great job!

[@heatherschaffer9406]

Great. Videos y super fun and creative. However, I have a question about the Walmart red candy apples I love at Walmart. I like the soft texture as opposed to the break y teeth candy apples from the festivals. What is the trick to making them soft like the Walmart candy apples or are they treating the customers by making them Carmel candy apples and coving them w red food colors????

[@carathebaker]

Hi Liz. I've made candied apples before but your recipe makes so much sense and clever! I LOVE the tip about using cinnamon hard candies and adding sparkle to it. GENIOUS!

[@NEnigma777]

No offense but gross. I’ve never had it as cinnamon flavoring. Must be regional. I’ve always known it to be the traditional cherry flavor

[@renemosca4285]

Quantity??? Recipe???

[@sk8rgrlteen]

Last year I made cherry candy apples 😋 so delicious but they had bubbles all over them. And the candy hardened before I finished dipping them. I want to try again with this recipe

[@JustAnotherBuckyLover]

Those sound delicious!

[@jeanninemassey2462]

What kind of cherry candy?

[@deerodgers4882]

Making these right now! Stirring in the cinnamon candy. Smells so good. Bday party tomorrow and the kids are going to love them

[@jimtaucher791]

What can i do to avoid bubbles on the surface of my dipped apple. Ive waited for the syrup bubbles to dissipate before dipping but i still get bubbles on the surface of the hardened candy more often than not.

[@ahizamarvelez1458]

I tried making these! I’m so sad the candy got stuck to my teeth. Overall they were pretty and the flavor was great.

[@michaelgadilhe1509]

You probably cooked the candy too low. I have been making these since 1977 by the thousands. Sugar, water, heat to 240 degrees add a cupful of apple cider vinegar and cook to 300 degrees. Use a candy thermometer. Corn syrup is unnecessary. For coloring rd# 40..3 tablespoons in a quart jar and 2 tablespoons of cream of tartar fill with water and stir Add coloring sparingly. If possible spin the apple to have a thin coating. This is for a 5 lb batch so a deep kettle helps. Be extremely careful as this is very hot stuff. Place apples on parchment paper..never wax paper and allow to cool. We use 5" sticks from web restaurant store..Royal brand. Once temp reaches 260 it will rise rather quickly

I always thought candy apples' shells were just sweet and didn't have any flavor.

[@SugarGeekShow]

Yeah it depends! I like them with flavor in them but it’s up to you 😄

[@JoshuaFinancialPL]

imho the natural cinnamon specs in the candy are attractive and suggest an artisan approach . also using honey or dark honey instead of hfcs which is something I avoid.

[@drivenhome3257]

cold apples in hot sugar create instant condensation and the sugar will crumble off.

[@angelastasiowski923]

Cinnamon oil it's usually pretty easy to find especially near the holidays

[@magick333]

when i make hard Candy and lollipops, instead of wasting all the sugar remaining in the pot when it's too set, i add loads of boiling water and tea bags to melt all that sugar and make sweet tea and then chill it to make sweet ice tea. and instead of glucose you can add more sugar (0.75 of the amount of glucose since it's sweetness is 0.75 of sugar) and more water (the remaining 0.25 of the amount of glucose) and a flavourless acid (although citric acid will add a lemon flavour which is nice) to the sugar and the cooking process will invert the sugar.

[@SugarGeekShow]

great idea!

[@magick333]

@@SugarGeekShow just today i made strawberry/raspberry lollipops and my sugar pot looked exactly like yours.

[@bigrivtodagled8210]

Do you realize how much water you are wasting while rubbing the apples?
