Ingredients

• 6 whole Granny Smith apples (or another tart apple)
• 6 pieces Wooden skewers or sticks
• 2 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Dark molasses
• 0.5 cups Light corn syrup
• 0.5 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground cloves
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry the apples thoroughly, then insert one wooden skewer or stick into the top of each apple, making sure they're secure. Set the apples aside on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar, dark molasses, light corn syrup, and water. Stir gently until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Step 3

Add the unsalted butter, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and salt to the saucepan. Continue stirring until the mixture begins to boil.

Step 4

Stop stirring once the mixture boils and allow it to cook undisturbed until it reaches 300°F (hard-crack stage) on a candy thermometer. This should take about 15-20 minutes. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from the heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract. Be careful, as the mixture will be extremely hot.

Step 6

Holding the wooden skewer, dip each apple into the candy mixture, swirling to coat evenly. Allow excess coating to drip back into the saucepan.

Step 7

Place the coated apples on the parchment-lined baking sheet and let them cool and set completely, about 15-20 minutes.

Step 8

Serve the candied apples as a delightful treat or wrap them in cellophane for gifting!
