Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Grease a piece of baking paper and place 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.
  4. Stir until the sugar dissolves; then stop stirring and wash down the pot sides with a wet brush to prevent crystallization.
  5. Cook until the mixture reaches the hard crack stage (150ºC/310ºF). Alternatively, drop some into ice-cold water; it should form hard threads.
  6. Dip each apple into the caramel mixture, swirling to coat evenly.
  7. Place on the prepared sheet to cool and harden before serving.
