Caramel Taffy Candy Apples just like
at the Fairgrounds.
Ingredients
1 cup sugar
6 to 8 medium apples
1/2 cup white corn syrup
Shredded coconut, if desired
1 can sweeten condensed milk
Chopped peanuts, if desired
1 teaspoon vanilla
Method
Place sugar, corn syrup, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla in a heavy saucepan. Cook slowly; stir gently and constantly until the mixture registers 244 degrees on the candy thermometer, or until it forms a firm ball when tried in cold water. Cool mixture slightly. Wash, dry, remove stems, and place a skewer in each apple. Dip apples into syrup one at a time; twirl gently to coat evenly, then roll in crushed peanuts or shredded coconut or leave plain. Place on waxed paper and let stand until caramel is set.
Use Granny Smith or Gala Apples
You will need five 1/2 inch Candy Apple STICKS
Starting at the Apple's stem force point of stick deep into the apple's core.
Granny Smith apples are a deep green with an occasional pink blush of the cheeks.
Good-quality Gala apples will be firm with smooth and clean skin. The coloring will usually be yellow with red stripes, but some new strains are nearly solid red.
