Lift the apple and let some of the excess drain back into the pot. Tilt your pan to the side to pool the candy mixture and rotate your apple around in it.
#CANDY APPLE RECIPE CRACK#
When your mixture reaches the hard crack stage, add your food coloring and the cinnamon oil then stir gently to combine. Also go ahead and lay out some parchment paper for the coated apples to harden on later.
Candy apple sticks work best, but you can also use lollipop sticks or popsicle sticks if you've got them on hand. While you are waiting for the candy to reach the hard crack stage, wash your apples and insert your sticks. (To avoid burning yourself, allow the syrup to cool in the cold water for a few moments before touching it.) If you do not have a candy thermometer or want an additional test, drop a little of the molten syrup in ice water and it will form hard, brittle threads that break when bent. Continue heating the mixture until it reaches the hard crack stage (300-310 degrees F). Insert a candy thermometer and reduce the heat to medium. Pour your sugar, light corn syrup, and water into a thick-bottomed pan and stir until the sugar is fully dissolved. Remove from heat and add cinnamon oil and food coloring. Reduce heat to medium and continue cooking until a candy thermometer reads 305 to 310 degrees F (hard crack stage). Stir together sugar, water and corn syrup in a thick-bottomed pot over high heat until it starts to boil. Last night, I made cinnamon candied apples so I could share the yumminess with Chica and share my grandma's recipe with you! I actually messed up the first time I made it, so watch below for my tips on NOT to do. Oh, those were so good! My grandmother knew of my love of cinnamon candied apples so she would often make them for me. I would always get one as a treat and they were so big and crunchy that Dad always had to take the first bite so my little mouth could handle eating the rest. My parents would take me to the local fruit and vegetable stand every Saturday and when it was apple season, they always had these huge, homemade, cinnamon candied apples for sale. (This is the same girl who will, at times, keep an open can of dulce de leche on her kitchen counter to swipe a spoonful as a delicious treat from time to time.) I, on the other hand, grew up with the wonderful fall time treat of cinnamon candied apples. Chica can't imagine anyone preferring anything on an apple besides caramel. Chica and I have been engaged in a great debate over which is better: caramel apples versus candied apples.
