This is optional if you have it, however it is not necessary. To make pumpkins we added 1/2 tsp of orange food color And 1/2 tsp of white food color. We chose bubble gum and vanilla Add the vanilla This should take 3-4 minutes While the sugar is melting add the flavoring of choice to the cream. Remove the spoon and start to melt the sugar and corn syrup over medium heat. Some recipes now say not to do this but I have always done it for caramel Give the sugar and corn syrup a stir to mix together. They cover better as they caramel doesn’t harden as fast making it too thick and the chances that the apples will sweat under the caramel making it fall off is lessened.Īdd the sugar to the tall saucepan Add the corn syrup In my opinion apples are best room temperature. Add a candy apple stick, twig, popsicle stick, or chopstick to the apple and set aside on a baking sheet covered in parchment paper, silpat, waxed paper or a slab of marble with a thin spray of oil or butter. If your apples are coated in wax clean in 4 cups of hot water (you need to be able to put your hands in), 2 Tbsp of lemon juice and 2 Tbsp of baking soda. I dip this immediately after dipping into the caramel coating before setting down Wash and clean the apples. Various nuts, chocolate chips, candies, or sprinkles to dip the candy apples into. *optional 1/2 tsp white food color – this makes the color less opaque but makes lighter flecks throughout the caramel (kinda of looks like glitter was added to the caramel).1/2 tsp food color of choice (I like Americolor).Ingredients: Basic Caramel Apples – Use this without food color to make basic caramel apple coating. This recipe is for the softer chewy caramel apples, not the hard crack candy apples. Both of these coatings are super hot, and I must give you a word of caution that an adult should do the cooking and dipping. Candy apples are made a similar way, minus the dairy and the coating is cooked to a hard crack stage on the candy thermometer 290-305☏. The caramel will harden enough to stay on the apple but will remain chewy. xoĬaramel apples are apples dipped and covered in a coating of soft and chewy caramel that has been cooked to 242-248☏ on a candy thermometer. Chelsea jumps at the chance to make these apples and of course she helped with this post. Here is the step by step process that works for us. I like to make them at Halloween for a few of the”special little goblin visitors” on our street. Place them on the caramel with in 10-15 minutes and they stick to the caramel. I always have little candy transfers on hand that I make with the leftover royal icing when decorating cookies. Of course, you can still dip these apples in chopped nuts, chocolate chips, sprinkles or whatever you imagination and taste buds want. It worked, and they were quite happy with the brightly colored apples covered in gooey goodness. When they were really little I made caramel apples instead of candy apples as they were easier for them to eat. This is a tradition I continued once I had children. My siblings were quite excited when I learned to make them at home. Four children crammed into the backseat of the car, I am sure we were getting everything and each other sticky. After speeding through the strip of ride tickets we would get a candy apple to eat on our ride home from the fair. One of my favourite childhood memories is getting to go to the local fair at the end of the summer.
