White Sparkle Candy Apple
These sparkling white candy apples are a delightful treat, perfect for any occasion. Dipped in a crisp, sugary coating and adorned with shimmering edible glitter, they're both beautiful and delicious. A classic confection, elevated with a modern twist.
Ingredients
6 small apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp recommended)
2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup water
1/2 cup light corn syrup
White gel food coloring
Edible white glitter
6 wooden sticks
Instructions
- Insert sticks into the tops of each apple, ensuring they’re firmly in place.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with non-stick spray.
- In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine sugar, water, and corn syrup. Stir until the sugar has dissolved, then stop stirring.
- Place the pan over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, without stirring, until it reaches 300°F (149°C) on a candy thermometer (hard crack stage), about 15-20 minutes.
- Once it reaches the correct temperature, immediately remove from heat and quickly add the white gel food coloring and edible glitter dust. Swirl gently to combine.
- Working quickly, dip each apple into the candy mixture, coating evenly. Allow excess to drip back into the pan, then place the coated apple onto the prepared parchment.
- Let apples cool completely until the coating hardens and sparkles. Serve or wrap for a beautiful, edible gift
