Ingredients
  

  • 10 small Granny Smith Apples washed and skewered with a wooden stick
  • 125 g Liquid Glucose
  • 400 g Caster Sugar
  • 180 g Water
  • Food Coloring
  • Extras: Jimmies Sprinkles, Crushed Nuts, Crushed Candy, Luster Dust, Disco Dust, Paint Brush

Instructions
 

  • Combine glucose, sugar and water in a deep pot. Add food coloring into this mixture and stir to distribute. Insert candy thermometer and bring to a boil.
  • Boil to 143 degrees Celsius (hard crack stage). This will take a while, but remember to never stir the sugar whilst its boiling as it WILL crystalize on you. You can wash down the edges of the pan with a clean wet brush to further prevent any crystallization.
  • Once syrup has come to temperature, take off the head immediately. Once the bubbling subsides, tilt pot and dip your apples in. Swirl to cover the entire surface of the apple, and then quickly let excess sugar drip off.
  • Immediately dip into sprinkles and sit the apples on silicone or non stick paper and allow them to set.
  • If you're too slow or the sugar hardens too quickly, don't fret. You can let the sugar set on the apple, and then brush a very thin layer of water on the candy apple to help glue sprinkles on.
  • For a water color effect, mix some luster dust or powder food coloring with the tiniest amount of water and paint onto your apples.
