  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon flavoring

    So Easy

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I did not know how easy it was to make candy apples. My kids loves them. A word of warning, DO NOT DOUBLE DIP them for... more flavor or more candy. My 5 year old son could not bite throught the candy to get to the apple. Thank you Paula.Read more

    county fair chewy red cinnamon candy apple

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    This may be the recipe that my family wanted: a red cinnamon candy apple similar to the ones at the county fair with the... firmness and texture of caramel. The ones sold in a nearby store are tasteless except for the nuts (urgh). My family hates the hard candy and unflavored chewy candy apples. My results so far with this recipe is a firm candy coating with excess settling downward. My experiments with my hard candy apple recipe to make a firm candy apple was not as good. Hope this recipe works for my family. 1. Recipe works well as stated but needs a more descriptive name with words such as chewy candy in it. 2. Easy to follow directions with lessened chances of messing up. (It reached 250@F with a light golden color.) Needs to state to prepare pan and apples prior to starting to cook the candy. Apples need to be washed, wax removed, and dried prior to inserting the stick. 3. Hint: wrap these up if not used in a few hours. Moisture loves the candy. 4. Those who require the (brittle hard-crack stage) hard candy coating may increase corn syrup to 1 cup and decrease water to 1/2 cup and cook to 285@F without stirring after the sugar is dissolved. Also use 6 drops hard candy flavoring and 15 drops coloring. Warning: crunching into this hard candy coating results in sharp shards. Read more

    Sticky, not hard

    Rated: 1 stars out of 5
    You cannot harden syrup into candy at 250 degrees. You need to get up to around 300 for that. I tried this recipe anyways,... against my better judgement - what a mess! These apples are so sticky they will definitely pull any fillings you have out of your teeth! The flavor was pretty weak as well. Don't waste your time on this one or any others that call for a low temp. if you want a hard candy coating. TonyaRead more

    Lose a baby tooth!

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    Ha! My daughter's tooth actually came out after trying to bite into one of these! She said it wasn't even that loose... yet. Anyhow, I had pretty good luck with it...I removed it from the heat when it was golden (not caramel colored) and the flavor was great. I halved the recipe (I only had 4 apples). But, the candy hardened so quickly that only the first one was really pretty...and I didn't have enough for the 4th one. I wish I could have gotten it on a bit thinner. But, I imagine it would shatter all over the place. We are going to do caramel apples next time. But, it did taste yummy.Read more
