Enjoy making these fun and festive Pink Glitter Candy Apples perfect for any special occasion or gathering!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium-sized apples
  • 6 wooden sticks
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 cup water
  • Pink food coloring
  • Edible pink glitter

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apples:

    Wash and thoroughly dry the apples. Remove any stems and insert a wooden stick into the top of each apple.

  2. Cook the Candy Coating:

    In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, and water. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Stop stirring and let the mixture boil until it reaches 300°F (hard crack stage) on a candy thermometer.

  3. Add Color and Flavor:

    Once the mixture reaches the desired temperature, remove from heat and quickly stir in the pink food coloring until the desired shade is achieved.

  4. Dip the Apples:

    Working quickly, dip each apple into the candy mixture, turning to coat completely. Let the excess drip off and then place the apple onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.

  5. Add Glitter:

    While the coating is still sticky, sprinkle the edible pink glitter onto the apples for a sparkling effect.

  6. Cool and Set:

    Allow the apples to cool at room temperature until the candy shell hardens completely.

Notes

  • Ensure apples are completely dry to help the candy coating adhere properly.
  • Use a candy thermometer to ensure accuracy with the hard crack stage.
  • Work quickly when dipping the apples to prevent the candy from hardening in the pot.
  • Store candy apples at room temperature and consume them within 2-3 days for best freshness.
