Cooking Instructions
Download PDFWash and dry the apples thoroughly. Remove any stems and insert a wooden skewer into the top of each apple. Set aside.
Line a baking tray with baking paper or a silicone mat.
In a small pot, combine the sugar, water, and glucose. Stir over a medium heat until the sugar has dissolved completely. Insert a candy thermometer into the mixture and cook it until it reaches the hard crack stage, approx. 150°C. Be careful not to let the mixture burn. Once the mixture reaches the desired temperature, remove it from the heat. Add the black gel food colouring and stir until the colour is evenly distributed.
Holding each apple by the skewer, dip it into the hot candy mixture, tilting the pan to coat the apple completely. Allow any excess candy to drip back into the pan. Place the coated apples onto the baking tray, making sure to space them apart so they don’t touch. Allow the candied apples to cool completely at room temperature. As they cool, the candy coating will harden and set.
