Description
Crisp apples coated in a glossy white candy shell and finished with edible glitter, creating an elegant and eye-catching fall treat perfect for celebrations and special occasions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium apples (Granny Smith recommended)
- Wooden sticks or skewers
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup corn syrup
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon white food coloring
- Edible glitter
Instructions
- Dip apples in very hot water for 10–15 seconds to remove wax, then rub dry and chill until completely dry.
- Insert wooden sticks firmly into the center of each apple.
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, and water.
- Bring to a boil and cook until the mixture reaches 300–310°F using a candy thermometer.
- Remove from heat and quickly stir in vanilla extract and white food coloring.
- Tilt the pan and dip each apple, rotating to coat evenly and letting excess drip off.
- While the coating is still warm, sprinkle edible glitter over the apples.
- Place apples on parchment paper and allow to cool completely until hardened.
Notes
Reaching the hard-crack stage is essential for a crisp coating. Make sure apples are fully dry and work in a low-humidity environment for best results.
