Easy Candy Apples

When it comes to favorite fall treats, candy apples are at the top of our list.

Candied apples will last about 3 days in the refrigerator. You’d think they’d last longer (aren’t they just apples coated in sugar?) but the hole made by the wooden stick causes them to degrade faster, limiting their shelf life.

Candy apples are yummy because they have a crunchy texture from the apple and a sweet and sticky coating from the candy. The combination of sweet and tart makes them a delicious treat. It’s great snack idea for fall and an awesome addition to any Halloween party!

While our recipe only calls for a few ingredients, there is one piece of required equipment: a candy thermometer. Nailing the exact temperature of the sugar will make this recipe a whole lot easier– and ensure that your candied coating will set!
