Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup liquid glucose or light corn syrup
- Few drops black gel food coloring
- 6 fresh Granny Smith apples
Instructions
- Grease baking paper and place it on a baking sheet. Insert bamboo skewers into each apple.
- In a saucepan, combine sugar, water, corn syrup, and black food coloring over medium heat. Stir until dissolved and let simmer without stirring.
- Cook until the mixture reaches hard crack stage (150ºC/310ºF). If you don't have a thermometer, test by dropping some caramel into cold water; it should form brittle threads.
- Dip each apple into the caramel, ensuring an even coat, then allow excess to drip off before placing them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Let the apples cool completely on the baking sheet until the caramel hardens.
