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 baking sheet with parchment paper.
  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. Once dissolved, stop stirring and wash down the pot sides with a wet brush to prevent crystallization.
  5. Cook until the mixture reaches hard crack stage (150ºC/310ºF). Alternatively, drop some into cold water; it should form hard threads.
  6. Dip each apple carefully into the caramel, swirling to coat evenly.
  7. Place on the prepared baking sheet and let cool until the caramel hardens.
