Candy Cinnamon Apples Recipes

CINNAMON APPLES

Steps:

• Combine the candies, brown sugar and 2 1/2 cups water in a large saucepan and place over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring, until the candies and sugar have fully melted, about 10 minutes.
• Add the apples and bring to a boil. Cook until the apples are tender but not mushy, about 5 minutes. Remove the apples with a slotted spoon and transfer to a heatproof dish. Allow the syrup to boil for an additional 5 minutes to thicken and intensify. Pour the syrup over the apples and allow to cool. Transfer to the fridge and chill for at least 4 hours.
• When ready to serve, warm a griddle over medium heat. Butter the griddle and toast the slices of pound cake for about 2 minutes per side, adding more butter as needed.
• To plate, place a piece of pound cake on each plate. Top with a scoop of ice cream and 4 apple slices. Drizzle with additional syrup and garnish with the mint.

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil or parchment paper and lightly spraying with nonstick cooking spray.
• Wash and dry apples carefully. Make sure that no water remains on the apples.
• Remove stems and firmly stick skewers in stem ends.
• Combine sugar, corn syrup, and hot water in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
• Stir until sugar dissolves, then continue to cook, without stirring, until mixture reaches 250 F on a candy thermometer .
• Wipe down the sides of the pan with a wet pastry brush occasionally to prevent crystallization.
• Once candy reaches 250 F, add cinnamon candies and stir briefly until candies melt and incorporate into sugar syrup.
• Continue to cook candy coating, occasionally washing down sides with wet pastry brush, until mixture reaches 285 F.
• Remove pan from heat and stir mixture so that it is smooth and even.
• Immediately start to dip apples. Hold an apple by skewer and dip in candy coating, tilting pan at an angle and rotating apple to cover it completely with a smooth, even layer of red candy.
• Pull apple out of pan and twirl it to remove any excess. Set it stick-side up on prepared baking sheet.
• Repeat with remaining apples.

• In a medium pot, combine the sugar, corn syrup, 1/2 cup water, vanilla bean seeds (discard the pod) or extract, cinnamon and salt. Stir the mixture over medium heat until the mixture begins to bubble at the edges, about 5 minutes - once it begins to bubble, stop stirring.
• Cook the mixture (without stirring) until it reads 300 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, about another 10 to 15 minutes. Leave the syrup mixture in the pot, and cool to 275 degrees. (The mixture will cool quickly; if it cools too much, it can be reheated until fluid.)
• Working quickly, dip 3/4 of an apple into the sugar syrup, tilting the pot as needed to coat. Hold the apple over the sugar syrup, letting the excess drip off, then transfer to the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining apples, reheating the sugar syrup as necessary. Cool completely before serving.
