A spooky and delicious treat perfect for Halloween, these Poison Apples are coated in a glossy black candy coating that will have everyone talking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups white granulated sugar
  • 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons water
  • ¾ cup corn syrup
  • black food coloring
  • 6 Granny Smith Apples
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Place the sugar, water, and corn syrup in a saucepan.
  3. Add the black food dye.
  4. Heat over medium-high and stir the mixture to combine.
  5. Place the candy thermometer in the pan and continue heating until the mixture reaches 290° Fahrenheit (about 8-10 minutes).
  6. Wash the apples and remove the stems. Dry with a paper towel, then push a wooden stick all the way down into the center of each apple.
  7. Once the candy coating reaches 290° Fahrenheit, remove it from the heat. Add the salt and vanilla extract and stir.
  8. Dip each apple into the saucepan. Swirl a couple times to get a thick, dark black coating. Lift and let the excess drip off.
  9. Place the apple on the parchment covered baking sheet then repeat with the rest of the apples and let them cool until hardened.

Notes

  • Ensure the candy thermometer is accurate for best results.
  • Be cautious when handling the hot candy mixture.
  • Add garnishes or edible decorations to the apples for extra flair.
