Candy apples are a popular treat often associated with autumn festivals and fairs. Originating in the United States over a century ago, this sweet confection consists of a whole apple, typically tart varieties like Granny Smith, coated in a shiny layer of hardened sugar syrup. The syrup is made by boiling sugar, water, and often corn syrup, with optional red food coloring for a vibrant hue. While apples themselves are rich in fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants, the candy coating adds high amounts of sugar and empty calories, making the treat more indulgent than nutritious. Candy apples can be enjoyed as part of celebratory events but should be consumed in moderation due to their sugar content. Some variations include caramel apples, which substitute caramel for the hard sugar shell and may add additional toppings like nuts or chocolate for extra flavor.
