When I was a kid, our neighbour made candy apples, caramel ones, and popcorn balls to give out on Halloween. This was during the 70s. Thanks for the memories!

I just made old fashioned steen’s popcorn balls last night. My son went to the fair today and couldn’t find candy apples. So I’m here now to surprise him with candy apples. I use to use the pre made stuff when he was a few years old. I haven’t made them in 10 years. I wanna try homemade ones now.

Hi Liz, thank you so much for this demonstration on how to make these delicious apples. Here in Australia, they are called 'toffee apples' and I used to buy them for my kids (and me) whenever there was a school fete or if I saw them for sale in the supermarket. I haven't seen them around for years. I am so grateful for you showing us how it is done. I will now be trying out your method for my grandchildren. Hugs from Melbourne.

we call them toffee apples too. And they're never flavoured really, even if they're very occasionally red.

Hello Liz, I watched your Caramel Apple video & this Candy Apple recipe, I washed and refrigerated my apples yesterday and today I'm making your Caramel Apples recipe! I'm so excited!😃Next I'm going to make theses Candy Apples. I wanted to commend you on your videos for being one of the ONLY KZread Chefs that actually addresses SAFETY prior to starting this project. Kitchen injuries are the most common household injuries and especially important when work with molten sugar. As an ex-military Safety Officer, I'd like to thank you for that! I wish more KZreadr Chefs would take a moment, like you did, and just alert the audience to potential safety risks. Most KZreadrs just jump right in to the recipe, without so much as a mention that sever burns can occur. Thank You Liz!

Hi Liz. I've made candied apples before but your recipe makes so much sense and clever! I LOVE the tip about using cinnamon hard candies and adding sparkle to it. GENIOUS!

When you added the sparkle to the sugar I immediately thought, this is where the term "candy apple red" came from in reference to an awesome car color! :)

As a member of Job’s Daughters and having the Masonic Hall across from a school, we had Candy Apple sales every October for two weeks. Our moms worked so hard every day, making them and then supervising us during the sale. I had to watch! Brought back a lot of memories!🍏🍎

Excellent presentation. All the questions that I had about making candied apples was answered by you. Thank you.

Making these right now! Stirring in the cinnamon candy. Smells so good. Bday party tomorrow and the kids are going to love them

Amazing video as always and I just made these and they were a HIT! Quick question about the leftover candy… how would you reheat this and not burn it? Thanks!

You presented this so well. Wow

My MIL had a complete failure making candy apples using a kit. She made them ahead of time for a kids event and was absolutely heartbroken to find the candy coating had melted off even being wrapped up in a treat bag. I found your video in my search for an answer and you provided all the information of what might have happed and why. I love how informative your tutorial was and am now subscribed!

Yummmy has been years since I had a candy apple. Red candy apples my fav!

I used to love candy apples when I was a kid, but with crowns, fillings and bridges, those days are sadly long gone! They look beautiful though! Such a vibrant red and I love cinnamon!

Wow they turned out so pretty in color! 😍 I love candy apples, but not what is out today I grew up in the 70's and apple taffy's what we called them back then were different they had a hard crispy crunchy candy coating whereas today it's a sticky thick candy coating. I may try yours, because they look to have that crispy candy coating, may I ask where did you purchase your candy thermometer from? thank you, and great job!

I gonna try

FANTASTIC VIDEO!

Hi! Thank you so much for your videos. Especially this one. I’ve tried many candy apple recipes and this one is the best I’ve found. My apples didn’t end up with bubbles and it didn’t harden too fast like other recipes. I was able to fill some candy molds and dip some extra fruits. I do have a question. Is there a more natural way of making the candy apples? I’m saying, without corn syrup, or dyes. And if so how long do they last? Is there a video on it?

delicious

Awesome video 🥰👏👏 Very funny😂🤣

The only candy apples I've had here in the UK have either been caramel covered, or they've been red sugar, like this, but with no real appreciable flavour. But then cinnamon isn't the same kind of popular "candy" flavour here as it is in the US. Aside from one or two things, I don't even remember seeing much cinnamon stuff over the years... just Big Red gum and some sort of "firecracker" gumballs. That's about it, though. When I realised you could get cinnamon toothpaste and mouth freshening strips, it blew my mind!

I use lorann cinnamon oil Flavor. It's delicious and easy.

Hi. Can you tell me what kind of gloves do you use? Thank you. I love your content

Can you use the cinnamon candies that you put on christmas cookies? the ones that look like little red balls? or does it have to be this kind? Also, are they spicy?

What brand of candy thermometer is that or if you don't mind tell me where it was purchased. I only ask because for us older cooks, the large print is a plus! 😄

Honey candied apples sound awesome.

Good evening I am doing a sweet treat goodie bags for my wedding reception next June. I am in need of 320 candied apples. May I ask the amount of ingredients and if I can do this in a large pot? Thank you

I’m waiting 😊🙏🏼

Great. Videos y super fun and creative. However, I have a question about the Walmart red candy apples I love at Walmart. I like the soft texture as opposed to the break y teeth candy apples from the festivals. What is the trick to making them soft like the Walmart candy apples or are they treating the customers by making them Carmel candy apples and coving them w red food colors????

Hello Liz, I usually used a box mix. I tried to do it on my own and used a cherry jello. They were delicious but weren't as hard as they should have been. Should I have boiled longer or put less sugar? Since the jello was a powder

@MaliohammadDesigns

10 ай бұрын

Old comment but jello will probably mess up your candy

What can i do to avoid bubbles on the surface of my dipped apple. Ive waited for the syrup bubbles to dissipate before dipping but i still get bubbles on the surface of the hardened candy more often than not.

So what works best If we have a corn allergy and a honey allergy? Would golden syrup do the job?

I think this fall I'll try this with Jolly Rancher cherry candies.

I really appreciate how you put safety in with your video, candy sugar can be hurtful and dangerous

By chance do you know if this recipe would pork with fresh cherries? I went to a carnival once where someone was making what they called Ferrie candy and it was cinnamon-coated cherries. They tasted just like the cinnamon coating that is used for the apples but was cherried!

Yummy

Spartan or Macintosh apples is what was used back when I was young, they or red or golden delicious were basically the only apples available. Actually prefer them to any other.

would it be easier to eat with the soft crack?

These look YUM! I’m going to have to try these!!

The dipping was my favorite part!! Can’t wait to make these for Halloween 🎃

I like the sliced apple the best, more candy to apple ratio.

How much ingredients each?

Is it rather easy to put sprinkles on them after dipping?

If we do it this way, if we pack it in airtight bags, how many days will it keep its freshness?

Can you coat popcorn balls in this or will the heat make them fall apart?

I'm planning on making this on Oct 24th for my niece's 4th birthday party. It will be snow white themed, but I'm doing a practice run first this week. Just wondering what cinnamon candy do I use? (ie: brand, name etc) don't really know what to look for.

Oooh sounds fun! Just any hard cinnamon candy. You can buy a bag of cinnamon candy discs at the grocery store usually

Do you refrigerate the apples when you’re done?

If I want to keep them on the counter and not in the fridge, is that okay? How long can I keep them in paper?

Cold apples - who knew?! Nice job.

Growing up in the 50s there's only Cinnamon candy apples no cherry etc. You're the first young person who I've heard making cinnamon candy apples...yum🍎

They're impossible to find where I live. We only have caramel apples. So I made them myself! I don't understand why someone wouldn't want to use a candy thermometer. It's precise. It pretty much guarantees it will turn out. I actually avoid recipes that say "boil for X-number minutes".

What kind of cherry candy?

when i make hard Candy and lollipops, instead of wasting all the sugar remaining in the pot when it's too set, i add loads of boiling water and tea bags to melt all that sugar and make sweet tea and then chill it to make sweet ice tea. and instead of glucose you can add more sugar (0.75 of the amount of glucose since it's sweetness is 0.75 of sugar) and more water (the remaining 0.25 of the amount of glucose) and a flavourless acid (although citric acid will add a lemon flavour which is nice) to the sugar and the cooking process will invert the sugar.

@@SugarGeekShow just today i made strawberry/raspberry lollipops and my sugar pot looked exactly like yours.

Just a quick question.. what is the measurement of water as you have it in grams and oz… confused Brit here

Can I use isomalt instead of sugar?

Could we maybe boil cinnamon sticks with our sugar mixture and just take it out right before we start dipping them?

How do I reduce the bubbles and get different flavors like pineapple, strawberry, watermelon, etc?

What if I don’t have any candy to add it will affect the recipe in general?

imho the natural cinnamon specs in the candy are attractive and suggest an artisan approach . also using honey or dark honey instead of hfcs which is something I avoid.
