Mahalo's expert chef Jennifer Martello shows you how to make perfect candy apples.
Candy apples are a classic treat enjoyed in autumn, especially around Halloween. This guide on how to make perfect candy apples offers tips and advice on preparing delicious candy apples.
The candy apple is prepared by dipping fresh
apples into a candy coating, and allowing for it to dry, creating a hard candy shell. The coating can be dyed using food coloring to match any theme, and a number of toppings can be added to the candy apple to suit any taste. While the recipe is simple to follow, candy apples should be prepared with caution and with the supervision of an adult, as the candy coating becomes hot as it cooks.
Preparing candy apples can be a fun project for cooks of all ages and skill level. Read on to learn how to make perfect candy apples.
Step 1: Gather Your Equipment
---------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Wooden skewers or popsicle sticks
2. Buy them at your local grocery or
party supply store.
3. You can also buy bamboo skewers and cut them in half.
Candy thermometer
5. A candy thermometer is very important, especially if you're making candy apples for the first time. You'll need it to make sure your heated sugar reaches the right stage of completion. Judging otherwise can easily lead you to burnt or underdone coatings. However, the thermometer is not necessary if you are just melting chocolate.
6. Make sure your thermometer's accurate. Being off by just a few degrees can mean the difference between delicious and burnt. To check its accuracy, clip on your candy thermometer and set a pot of water to boil. The thermometer should read 212 degrees Fahrenheit or 100 degrees Celsius when the water is boiling. If not, note what temperature it reads at and adjust for the difference.
7. Pot for making the candy coating
8. Second container, bigger than your cooking pot
9. If you heat your coating to a high enough temperature, you'll fill this container with cold water to submerge and cool the pot with your candy apple coating.
10. Tray or baking sheet (for completed apples)
11. Aluminum foil: you'll need this if you do not want to put your finished apples directly on an oiled baking sheet, tray, or serving platter.
12. Alternatively, you can top your baking sheet with a silpat mat.
13. Measuring cups and spoons
14. Wooden spoon
15. Pastry brush, to keep sugar from crystallizing as you work
16. Extra bowls for additional toppings
Step 2: Choosing Your Apples
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Making a candy apple is about pairing the sweetness of candy with the right apple. It's exquisite to pair a tart apple with a sweet candy exterior. Of course, if you can't stand tart apples, then pick a sweeter one. However, you want to eschew varieties like Red Delicious, which lacks the firmness required for candy apples, and Rome Beauty, which is primarily used in
baking. Recommended apples include:
* Braeburn: Golden-green to red skin, firm, sweetly tart
* Fuji: Yellow-green skin, firm, sweet
* Golden Delicious: golden skin, firm, sweet
* Granny Smith: green skin, very firm, tart
* Jonathan: Yellow-red skin, firm, sweetly tart
* Jonagold: A hybrid of Jonathan and Golden Delicious, firm skin, tangily sweet
* Lady: Red to yellow skin, firm, sweetly tart
* McIntosh: Reddish-green skin, firm, sweetly tart
1. Choose smaller apples - they'll be easier to make, easier to eat, and will give you a better candy to apple ratio!
2. Store-bought apples are usually coated with wax, which makes it more difficult to coat them. If possible, buy apples at a farmer's market. Or you can go apple picking and get your own fresh off the tree!
3. If you have no choice but to use wax-coated apples, quickly dip them in boiling water and then wipe away the wax coating.
www.epicurious..... Chill the apples in the refrigerator until you're ready to start making candy apples.
Step 3: Prepare Your Kitchen
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Get everything gathered before you put the sugar on the stove. You don't want to rush off for your pastry brush and come back to find a pot full of crystallized sugar.
1. Put your pastry brush in a cup of warm water.
2. Butter your baking sheet or tray (or aluminum foil) so it's ready to hold coated apples.
3. Fill the second,

Lol 🤣🤣
😂
❤ the guy in the back! Lol
2:47 yup lol
Deku seeing this before making candy apple for Eri:
WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOWN
I JUST WATCHED THAT EPISODE!?!?
I just watched that episode
My dad made candy apples for our elementary school carnival every year. Lots. No bubbles and no feet on the bottom. Entire apple was covered. Haven't seen that kind of perfection since then.
What that's called is a false memory they were probably very sloppy but you as a child were Uber impressed
@@reeldirtiestudios Or its just the truth?????
@@reeldirtiestudios😂
@@reeldirtiestudiosjust need more candy then in this video to get a good dip. If he was making lots of them he probably had a big old pot of the stuff.
Oh my god 😂loved the video but love the guy who walked in the background like “😦” 🤣 noticed it on the first viewing of this! Great apples 🍏 by the way 👍🏾
@ 2:47 When you veer off the map in a video game but are met with an invisible wall.
They look great and I’m glad you got straight to the point. Thank you for sharing.
At 2:47, who else noticed that guy walking in? 😂
•CosmicLPS• I noticed it
Everyone.
•CosmicLPS• I did lol
Loo
look at comment just for this
Midoriya brought me here after he gave the apple to Eri
Omg I’m not the only one 😂
same
Yo fr mans reminded me of them I used to eat them when I was 8
I thought i was the only one
omg same
o my!! bubbles everywhere..
and if you want to see no green apples, then pour some candy over the tops as well.
Thanks so much 💕
Thank you so much for uploading your recipes candy apples. Looks yummy 🍏🍎x
2:48 the ghost haha
Video bombed at 2:45! lol! But...beautiful apples!
Straight to the point
That candy apple looks good
just did these by myself my mom helped cook it a little bit more but turned out perfect for thanksgiving!!!
❤
Horrible! Messy that giant puddle, no full coverage.
who else came to the comments right after the guy walked in like “oh shit”
Rather saying three quarter cups....why NOT just say 3/4 cup of water so people are thrown off by the extra verbiage....I never understand those who say quarter cup...like what’s so hard about simply saying 3/4?? It’s easy, quick and doesn’t require any extra thought. *Shrugs
3/4 (say three quarters) then the next word is CUP
3/4 cup.... they're saying it right...
They look amazing great job...
Me and my friend are havin a horror movie date. Im so making these but I have braces.. So Imma slice the apples and dip em on in.. Lol bite sized 👌
Perfect? The most bubbliest candied apples I've ever seen, lol sorry!
who cares? if you’re not making them in a factory they’re not gonna be “perfect”. grow up it all tastes the same
The reason it has bubbles is because of the left over wax on the apple.
@@manmalone6417 to eliminate that you get rid of the wax by placing the apples for a few seconds in hot water and wiping the wax off with paper towels or clean rag. That chief or cook should have known that and included it in the video and it would have eliminated most of the bubbles.
@@vmillixn Many people care!!! It is a matters a great deal! Appearance is as important as taste if they're selling or giving them as gifts. SURPRISE!! You can remove your foot from your mouth now.
My candy coating isn't as thick,what should I do?
We used to put RED HOT Candies in ours...
it tastes like Hot Cinnamon sticks.
Absolutely essential halloween treat love them thank you
How do u prep the apples. Every video I saw was pleasing them in hot water and they wait for 48hr before covering the apple.
48 hours!!!! Why? Just make sure they're dry.
Those candy apples looked great. I also liked how she kept a neat and clean counter top area and the entire kitchen area was clean throughout the whole entire video. No nasty pets running around in the kitchen, that was great, really great because if there had been some running around in the kitchen that would've ruined the whole entire video for me, maybe not for anyone else, but it would've certainly ruined it for me. Cats and dogs don't belong in the kitchen period. Great video.
The sticks look so funny cause they are so looooong🍎🍏.
some people use gel food coloring I guess it doesn't matter I am going to make mine swirl color I use whatever food colring I want like red blue pink and some white food coloring in the mix and make them swirl and sell them for $5 each
Can i add flavoring to the candy? If so, what would you use? Also, have you thought about cutting the apples into 4 cuts? Then dip the cuts into the candy?
Scott K good old fashion cinnamon candies ( Red Hots) They work like a champ♥️
You can use Lor•Ann's oil flavorings, they work REALLY well
RED HOT CANDIES... taste like hot cinnamon sticks
or Red Jolly Ranchers candies
Thanks for the upload. I love these and I can’t find them at the stores. They usually only ever have caramel apples
how do you wrap them to sell?
Looks yummy😋😋😋😋
If I put them in the fridge so they dry faster is it a good idea or do they have to stay in room temperature?..
Would you do a video on how to make caramel apples from scratch also? I am looking for a really good caramel that I can make that will set up very well on apples. I don’t want to use the wrapped caramels but I want to make some from scratch. Can you help? Love your videos. Thanks for doing them.
Caramel Melts bits
I know this is old, but I wanted to reply to your comment.
Make sure to wash your apples good to remove the wax from them so your caramel sticks well.
Use 4 cans of Nestlé La Lechera Dulce Leche with caramel in a pot and pour in 3/4 cups of heavy whipping cream and stir on low/simmer heat and make sure to constantly stir until mixture is like a pourable mix. The Nestlé La Lechera Dulce Leche with caramel makes caramel apples better in my opinion.
Use digital thermometer if you want to, to make sure it doesn't go over 150. Now dip those apples and enjoy!🍏😋🤗
This is the perfect???? Omg I think my daughter make more better ...
Jose Agustin.... Lmaoooo
I am going to make this and add a squirt of cinnamon oil
If I want to keep them on the counter and not in the fridge, is that okay? How long can I keep them in paper? and if I don't have a candy thermometer, do I leave it on the stove for 12 to 15 minutes or more?
what candy do you put in yours? and what candy can i put in mine any red kind of hard candy or soft? twizzlers work?
No candy the sugar and syrup are the candy use food coloring for colors
We used to put Red Hot Candy in ours...
tasted like Hot Cinnamon
I need to make about 25 candy apples how much ingredients do I need. I made some using your receipt and my wife love them. She have me now making some for the church.
Use 4 cups suger 2 cups water 2 cups corn syrup
She made 4 so multiply her recipe by 7 and you’ll have more than enough.
My candy starts to harden before I’m done coating the apples any advice on how to prevent this or fix it?
work faster
You're husband I'm guessing cracked me up coming from behind you.

Does the candy dry hard or soft?
That depends on what temp the sugar solution got to.
There's like 7 different constitutions the sugar can have that are used for different candy purposes. For candy apples you usually want the hard Crack stage (300-310)
If you are successful the sugar coating should cool into a hard candy like a lollipop.
If you over or undershoot it, it might be sticky like caramel, or even just runny like maple syrup.
First video I'VE seen
Just straight to the point and efficient...hate videos with unecessary talk and long chat...
I used to have these when I was a little kid .. miss them so much!!
Is there a cinnamon version of this recipe? I remember having candy apples growing up in Hawaii that tasted sort of like a fire stick Jolly Rancher.
Black Hole Rainbow use hot Tom candies
RIGHT... I thought it was Red Hot Candies...
Fire stick jolly rancher... that sounds good too.
just add a little cinnamon flavoring...or throw some red hot candies into the pot
My food coloring ruined the candy and then quickly burned and made everything bitter. Any suggestions?
I looked this up to make deer treats instead of apples I will pour the liquid into a container I will be making a lot more than this and pour corn into the mix and stir it up when it cools it will make a nice block for the deer to lick
Leave me the sugar scraps that’s my favourite
I made six candy apples two times following your recipe, they came out perfect the candy was hard my wife loved them. The third time the candy came out sticky with a lot of bubbles what did I do wrong.
ur apples were either not dried all the way or wax was still on them.. normally when cleaned properly & completely dry - no bubbles 😉😉
@@tikaboomitchell33
you didn't say anything in the video about how we're supposed to clean the apples... that is good advice though.
@@judichristopher4604 its in the video description Step 2 how to choose your apples
They look shit why wouldn’t you fully cover then lol also rushed and didn’t scrape the bottom excess off so left with thick chunky bit at the bottom 🙈
I tried this and my candy apples came out so hard!
Yes... that is right... it's supposed to be like hard candy.
I want a candied apple too
what does mean half cup it can mean anything i may have bigger or smaller cup why people dont say it in mililitres or grams
Those look beautiful and so delish!!! 😋 yumm
why does that guy always show up in some of the videos!?!?!?!?
Idk😂
i have made these, very good recipe, keep at high heat through out to prevent nasty crystalization mess,(my first attempt lol) stir occasionally.
will this be HARD candy?
YES
We don’t have corn syrup in the uk .what can we substitute for it please?
Too much wax on your apples should have removed it then u wouldn't have all those bubbles
what is the procedure for removing the wax?
what is the procedure for removing the wax?
+LaShocka Franklin boil a pot of water and add 1/4 c of apple cider vinegar to the boiling water once water is very hot remove from burner dip your apples for 6 mins then dry them let them sit over night before making candy apples
+India Jackson Thank you!!!
+LaShocka Franklin u welcome love
I only trust you and another ladies video all the others were mis leading 😢
2:47 man said walk in walk out let’s go work.
What can I use if I dont have corn syrup
Maple syrup
@@Jaguar1314
NO.... that would make it a total different taste...
The dude's was like. Oh shit!
Needs cinnamon oil.
OHHHHH YEAH... hot candy...
i put thumbs up but i wasnt eating one good comment
The guy who walked in and then immediately walked out sent me😭😭
2:47 yeah
I'm using onions instead hehe...Halloween🙂
I keep accidentally burning the candy coating
lol the guy was so funny at 2:48
😂
How do u cut it though 😅 I’ve been searching all morning on best way to cut candied (not Carmel) apple & can’t find a way 😬
Usually you just eat it like a turkey leg. No cutting involved.
NICE
2:48 oh hello there, oh wait shit gotta go
What does it mean if the colour just runs off?
You didn't clean the wax off the apple good enough.
Wash of wax coating
I made it exactly. But it's not coating my apples properly. What am I doing wrong? 😢
Did you wash your apples or put them in the fridge the night before you I was told there's wax on the apple
2:49 the guy in the back lol
This is the best video on candy apples I have seen so far.
Oh hell no NO MA'AM
The written instructions shows 212 F 😕
I much rather prefer Jonathan apples😢
The suspense is killing me 😬 🎶
I added citric acid to make them sour and it burned, I don't know if that's the cause
hi my birthday is on Halloween and I was wondering if you can make me some candy apples about 5 or 7 of them
bro this is 1080p 10 years ago the quality of the video is insane!
You should call this a G.O.B, guy.
Thank you for getting right into. That's so rare. People always have a boring who gives a damn life stories🙄😩
Can you double the recipe?
And then add the Candy would that work?
if store bought apples.. Make sure to wash them off ( and dry ) before starting. they waxthem in stores , and the candy dosen't stick to good to them with the wax.
They last for weeks in the fridge
Also, I asked online years ago that how to make candy apples without the peeling if some people don't like apple peels. The answer came from a chef and he said to dip the apples in lemon juice (after peeling, of course) before dipping in candy apple coating and then scoff at the people that told you you couldn't do it.
every recipe i sed says 300 degrees so is it 300 or 310 .i am searching for recipe ,disaster bc candy thermometer did not work .It all burned
Way better than 30-45 min articles that breakdown the social constructs surrounding the inevitable rise of candied apples.
It's not even totally coated
Anyone notice the guy who almost walked in.
Can i use green food coloring so that they will match with apples? Just asking please don't get nad at me
Yes you can, any color is fine
Marvellous doing them now with my kids...Thankyou.
Question ??
How do you clean the Candy residue out of the pan afterwards ????
