Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1/2 cup liquid glucose or light corn syrup
  • Few drops black gel food coloring
  • 6 Granny Smith apples (or 12 small apples)

Instructions

  1. Grease a piece of baking paper and lay it on a tray or baking sheet.
  2. Insert bamboo skewers into each apple and set aside.
  3. In a saucepan, combine sugar, water, corn syrup, and black food coloring over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
  4. Stop stirring once the mixture simmers; wash down the sides with a wet brush to prevent crystallization.
  5. Cook until the mixture reaches hard crack stage (150ºC/310ºF) or forms brittle threads in cold water.
  6. Carefully dip each apple in the caramel, swirling to coat evenly.
  7. Place dipped apples on the prepared sheet and allow to cool and harden before serving.
