Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Apples
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Light corn syrup
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 5 drops Red food coloring (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Wash and core the apples. Slice the apples into 1/4-inch thick rings or slices, depending on preference. Optionally, peel the skins off for a smoother texture.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine granulated sugar, water, and light corn syrup. Stir until well mixed.
Heat the mixture over medium heat, bringing it to a boil. Stir occasionally to ensure the sugar dissolves completely.
Reduce the heat slightly and add the ground cinnamon and red food coloring. Stir well to evenly distribute the color and spice.
Using tongs, carefully dip apple slices into the hot syrup, ensuring they are fully coated. Work one slice at a time to prevent overlapping.
Place the coated apple slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet or on a wire rack. Allow the syrup to harden at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
If desired, lightly dust the hardened apple slices with powdered sugar for a frosty look.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
