Poison Apples

You don’t need complicated tools or fancy ingredients for this stunning treat. Here’s what you’ll need:

🍏 Apples:

• 6 medium-sized apples (Granny Smith, Fuji, Gala, or Honeycrisp work well)

Choose firm, crisp apples with no bruises. Red or green skins provide a great visual contrast to the candy coating.

🍭 Candy Coating:

• 3 cups granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup light corn syrup (adds shine and prevents crystallization)
• 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar (optional but improves texture)
• 1/4 teaspoon red food coloring (or more for intensity – gel colors work best)

🧂 Extras:

• Non-stick spray or butter (for greasing your tray or parchment)
• 6 wooden sticks or skewers (for dipping and holding the apples)

🔪 Optional tools: Candy thermometer, heatproof spatula, parchment paper, and gloves for handling hot syrup.
