Instructions
-
Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Wash and thoroughly dry apples, then remove stems and insert skewers.
-
Combine sugar, corn syrup, and hot water in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir until sugar dissolves.
-
Cook without stirring until the mixture reaches 250 F, occasionally wiping the pan sides with a wet pastry brush to prevent crystallization.
-
At 250 F, add cinnamon candies and stir until melted. Continue cooking, wiping pan sides, until the mixture reaches 285 F.
-
Remove the pan from heat, stir until smooth, and immediately dip apples one by one. Coat each apple completely, twirl to remove excess, and place on the prepared baking sheet.
-
Allow the candy apples to cool at room temperature before serving.
