Recipe for Christmas Candy Apples
Ingredients:
6 medium-sized apples
1 cup of sugar
1/2 cup of light corn syrup
1/4 cup of water
1/2 tsp of red food coloring
1/2 tsp of cinnamon
1/2 tsp of vanilla extract
1/4 tsp of salt
1/2 cup of chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions:
Wash and dry the apples, then remove the stems and insert wooden sticks into the top of each apple to use as a handle.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, water, food coloring, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
Heat the mixture over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until it reaches a temperature of 300 degrees Fahrenheit on a candy thermometer.
While the mixture is heating, prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
Once the mixture has reached the desired temperature, remove it from the heat and quickly dip each apple into the mixture, coating it completely.
If using chopped nuts, roll the coated apples in the nuts while the candy coating is still hot.
Place the coated apples onto the prepared baking sheet and allow them to cool and harden for at least 20 minutes before serving.
Tips and Variations:
For a more traditional look, use green apples and leave the skin on.
You can use any type of nuts for coating, such as chopped peanuts, almonds, or pecans.
If you prefer a more tart flavor, substitute the cinnamon for 1/4 tsp of citric acid.
To add some extra holiday cheer, drizzle melted white chocolate over the cooled candy apples and sprinkle with crushed candy canes.
Now that you have the recipe for Christmas candy apples, it's time to get creative with your decorations. You can use festive sprinkles, crushed cookies, or even mini marshmallows to add some extra flair to your candy apples. These treats also make for great homemade gifts, just wrap them in cellophane and tie with a ribbon for a sweet and thoughtful present. So why not add these tasty treats to your holiday baking list and spread some Christmas cheer with your loved ones?
