Ingredients

  • 10 apples (use strongly flavored apples, such as Winesap or Mackintosh)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup corn syrup
  • 10 wooden popsicle sticks

Method

  • Wash apples, remove stems and replace with popsicle stick pushed halfway into the apple.
  • Combine sugar and corn syrup in a deep pan and stir slowly over low heat until thoroughly dissolved.
  • Let boil to 300F on candy thermometer or until a small quantity becomes brittle when dropped into cold water.
  • Remove pan from heat and place over boiling water (to keep the candy from hardening too quickly).
  • Dip apples in the candy syrup and twirl in a circular motion until completely covered.
  • Place on a buttered pan with the sticks upright and permit to cool.
