Candied Apples with a Spicy West Texas Twist
Ingredients:
6 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work well)
2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup water
½ teaspoon red food coloring (optional, for classic candied look)
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (or adjust to taste)
¼ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Wooden sticks (for inserting into apples)
Directions:
Prepare the Apples: Wash and dry your apples thoroughly, then insert a wooden stick into the core of each apple. Set aside on a tray lined with parchment paper.
Make the Candy Coating: In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, and water. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Bring the mixture to a boil without stirring, and continue cooking until it reaches 300°F (hard-crack stage) on a candy thermometer. This will take about 20 minutes.
Add the West Texas Heat: Once the mixture reaches 300°F, carefully remove it from heat. Stir in the red food coloring, cayenne pepper, and cinnamon if using. The heat from the cayenne will give the candy a subtle spicy kick, making it the perfect West Texas treat!
Dip the Apples: Working quickly, dip each apple into the hot candy mixture, turning it to coat evenly. Allow any excess candy to drip off before placing the apple on the parchment paper to cool.
Let Cool and Serve: Let the apples cool completely before serving. These candied apples are perfect for fall festivals, Halloween, or simply enjoying with family on a crisp West Texas evening!
