Mickey Mouse Candy Apples (Print)

Bright Mickey Mouse Candy Apples with a sweet, crisp coating. Great for parties, holidays, or a fun family kitchen project!

# Ingredients:

01 - 6 regular apples, any kind you like.
02 - 1 cup water.
03 - 2 cups white sugar.
04 - 1 teaspoon of liquid vanilla flavoring.
05 - 1 teaspoon of red food dye.
06 - 1 cup light corn syrup.
07 - Wooden sticks or skewer sticks.
08 - Optional: crushed nuts or colorful sprinkles for decorating.

# Steps:

01 - Rinse apples well and wipe them completely dry. Push a wooden stick or skewer straight in at the apple’s top for a good grip.
02 - Put sugar, corn syrup, and water into a pot. Heat on medium while stirring until the sugar is dissolved.
03 - Let the mix come to a boil. Stop stirring and let it cook until it hits 300°F (150°C). Check the temperature using a candy thermometer.
04 - Take the pot off the heat and mix in the food coloring along with vanilla.
05 - Carefully roll each apple in the candy coating, turning the apple to cover it evenly. Let any extra drip back into the pot.
06 - Place the coated apples on a sheet of parchment paper. Leave them alone for roughly 30 minutes to cool and harden.
07 - If you'd like toppings, sprinkle nuts or sprinkles over the apples before the candy layer sets fully.

# Notes:

01 - Tip: A candy thermometer helps you get the candy to the perfect hardness level.
