π¬ My honest opinion on same-day candy apples β is it a hit or a miss?
π©βπ³ If you’re a beginner feeling a bit hesitant, I’ll share why there’s no need to be afraid. Let’s dive in and make the best candy apples in town together!
π§Ό Now, for the candy apple cleaning method β here’s what you’ll need:
π― A pot of water
π 1 cup of lemon juice (for 12 or more candy apples, adjust for smaller batches)
π₯ 2 TBSP of baking soda
π§ 1 TBSP of salt
Bring the mixture to a boil and I prefer to dip my apples with the candy apple stick already attached for six seconds. It makes the process of making candy apples much easier.
π To ensure bubble-free candy apple beauties, I’ve even gone the extra mile by stripping the wax off my Granny Smith apples. For beginners, start with the foolproof 6-4-1 ratio: 6 cups of sugar, 4 cups of water, and 1 cup of corn syrup. Today, I’m adding a secret ingredient to prevent stickiness too soon. I swapped 1 cup of liquid light corn syrup for the secret ingredient.
Remember, there’s no wrong way to add gel food coloring or flavoring unless your flavoring contains alcohol. Let’s make candy apple magic together! πβ¨

When I was pregnant with baby #3 I used to eat the candy apples from the grocery store almost daily. It's a good thing your channel didn't exist at that time because if I actually knew how to make them at home, I would be big as a house! π
Hello Im making some candy apple for this Saturday should I start my cleaning Wednesday or Thursday please help
How long does it take to reach 300*
I found out a 70 year old should never make candy apples. My 13 year old thought they were awesome,but honey they were a mess
look delicious going to try. how many drops of white and red food coloring do we use?
Can Jolly Ranchers melted be used as a drip design over these dipped apples?
Love how u explain everything!! Iβm a beginner just subscribed. I just bought my applesπ tried candy grapes but they melted π would this recipe be okay for suckers as well?
I saw another candy apple creator say you shouldn't cover the apple all the way up to the stick, because it doesn't allow space for the apple to seap, which it's gonna continue to do.
Thus causing the apple candy to break down faster.
I was wondering your thoughts on that??
π
I was wondering if this recipe makes a candy apple that one can bite through?
I know its possible, just having trouble finding one.
Thanks
