What's in a candy apple?

[deinleigh]

I've been wondering about candy apples and what goes into making them. Are they just apples and sugar, or is there more to it? I’d love to hear the specifics from someone who's made them before. What ingredients do you use to get that perfect candy coating?

Candy apples typically involve a simple mixture of sugar, water, and corn syrup to create that glossy candy coating. You boil the ingredients until they reach the hard crack stage, then dip the apples in for that perfect sweet shell. Some people like to add food coloring or flavorings for an extra twist! Enjoy making them!
