These apples taste just like the ones you get at a fair. I made them as a treat for my co-workers and they loved them. Just be sure you have enough time to wait for the sugar to reach the hard crack stage. i followed the advice of the person who said to put the pot in hot water when dipping and this kept the candy pliable for dipping as it does harden very quickly once removed from the water.

These were absolutely the BEST! They taste exactly like those at the fair. We didn't have food coloring, so we omitted that. My husband loved the way they looked-like glass covered apples. My only problem was the fact that even though I halfed the recipe, I found I needed more than half the candy mixture. Some of my apples didn't get enough coating, but we ate them anyway and they were still delicious! As a previous reviewer said, placing the candy mixture into a pan of boiling water keeps the mixture from hardening. We will DEFINITELY be making these again... tonight as a matter of fact!!!

I thought this was very fun to do with the kids wash the apples really well and dry them with a towel if you dip them, I also cut up some apples in little slices put them on a large toothpick dipped them the kids had fun we also did strawberries blueberries the kids were so excited they were in the fridge looking for anything and everything to dip we also made some of the candy blue and purple and green we made a lot with the left over I sprayed a cookie sheet with veggie spray, spread the left over candy all diff cols together on cookie sheet and let them cool it looked like stain glass it was cool...it was fun thanks 4 the recipe (ps. i find if you put your pot in boiling water it keeps the candy warm enough to dip all the apples you need to iI also added cinnamon after i boiled it was very good :)

The apples came out great, tasted just like at the fair. Recommend using smaller apples and since the sugar hardens fast, don't do more than ten at a time. Also, make sure the apples are completely dry and wax free, otherwise the candy won't stick.

You have to work very fast or the syrup starts to thicken and won't coat evenly. I added grape oil to give it flavor. Even though I used small apples, I had to double the recipe to get 15 apples coated. Overall, they tasted good, but weren't worth all the work.
