Poison Candied Apples

Warning!!!!! I love the look of these.  I call these my poisoned apples.  These are true candied apples.  I’m talking hard tack candy.  These are so simple to make.  Here’s a link to the recipe I used.  Enjoy!  https://simply-delicious-food.com/poison-toffee-apples-halloween/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed:+simply-delicious+(Simply+Delicious)

Ingredients

  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • few drops black gel food coloring could also use purple
  • 6 Granny Smith apples or 12 small apples
  • sticks to insert into apples

Instructions

  • Grease a cookie sheet and set aside. Insert sticks into washed and DRIED apples and set aside.
  • In a medium pan, combine the sugar, water, corn syrup and food coloring. Cook over medium heat until sugar has dissolved. Then, to prevent crystallization, use a pastry brush dipped in water to brush around inside sides of pan just above mixture.
  • Turn heat up a bit until mixture begins to boil. Stir to prevent burning. Boil until mixture reaches hard crack stage (310 degrees F on candy thermometer).
  • Carefully dip the apples into the hot candy mixture and place on the greased baking sheet. Cool completely.
  • Remember.....these are candied apples and not the chewy caramel kind. Enjoy!
