How To Make Hot Pink Candy Apples Or Any Color Rose Bakes Recipes

PINK CANDY APPLES

Steps:

• We used small apples from an orchard that were not coated in wax. If you are using store bought apples that are coated in wax, you'll have to remove the wax to help the candy stick to the apples. To remove the wax, dip apples in boiling water and then buff the apples. Also add a small dowel into the centre of the apple. Prepare a baking sheet with parchement paper that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
• To make the candy, add the sugar, water, and corn syrup to a medium saucepan and combine. Bring it to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-high and add a candy thermomter to the mixture. Contiune to boil until the candy reaches a temparture between 300-310 degrees. Occassionaly brush down the sides of the pan with cold water and a pastry brush to help prevent re-crystalization.
• When the candy reaches 300-310 degrees remove from the heat, and add the food colouring. Adding the food colouring at the end prevents the white food colouring from turning yellow at all during cooking. I added around a 1/2 teaspoon of white colouring and just 1-2 drops of soft pink.
• Working carefully and quickly because the candy starts to cool, tilt the pan and dip each apple individually. Coat the apple completely, and then left it drip off slightly to avoid a large pudddle of candy at the base of the apple. Place the dipped apples on the parchement lined baking sheet to set. Take care working with the candy as it's very hot. Have a bowl of ice water standing by incase of any burns.
• After the apples are set, decorate with sprinkles. Use some more light corn syrup as "glue" to adhere the sprinkles. We used a compination, including a plastic spider (not ediable) spider candy, sprinkles, nonpareils, and ediable glitter. These apples are best served the day they are made. Any humidy will make the apples sticky, so store in an air tight container.

HOT PINK CANDY APPLES RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:

• Remove the stems from the apple. Wash and dry the apples. Put the sticks in the stem side of each apple.Place them on a sheet pan that is sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Set them aside until your sugar mixture is ready. This will help make sure the apples are good and dry. Mix the sugar, corn syrup, food coloring and gel food coloring in a medium size sauce pan over a medium high heat. Stir to combine. Let the mixture come to a full boil. Have your candy thermometer handy. When the mixture begins to boil, hook the candy thermometer on the side of the pan and make sure it doesn't touch the bottom of the pan, but is in the boiling mixture. Let the mixture come to 302°F (hard crack stage). This will take about 20 minutes. No need to stir or disturb the mixture while it heats, just be patient until it reaches the correct temperature. When the candy reaches 302°F, immediately remove it from the heat and use a rubber spatula to stir in the vanilla extract. Stir it gently to get the flavor evenly incorporated. Tilt the saucepan slightly, so it is easier to dip the apples in the candy. Swirl to coat, and then let the excess drip off into the pan. Set the candied apple on the prepared sheet pan to harden. Be careful, the sugar is very hot. The candied apples keep at room temperature for about 2 - 3 days, if they aren't eaten first! Do not refrigerate, it will change the coating from a candied coating to a sticky (potentially messy) coating. Note: These are candied apples with a hard coating, not caramel apples with a soft coating.

ORANGE CANDY APPLES

Steps:

• Insert lollipop sticks one-third of the way into each apple. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and coat the parchment with cooking spray.
• Combine the sugar, corn syrup and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and add the orange food coloring. Continue cooking, swirling the pan but not stirring, until a candy thermometer registers 290 degrees F, about 10 minutes; remove from the heat. Working one at a time, dip the apples into the candy, then twirl over the pan to let the excess drip off, keeping your fingers out of the way of the hot candy coating. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and let stand until set, about 5 minutes.
• Put the chocolate in a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring, until smooth. One at a time, hold each apple over the bowl and use a fork to drizzle with chocolate, turning to coat around the base of the apple. Return to the baking sheet; let set, about 5 more minutes.
