Oh, Candy Apples reminds me of my childhood making Candy Apples with my mom; I made Candy Apples for my daughter and now my Grandchildren. Golden delicious apples dipped in a candy sauce, be careful when making these because to mixture is very hot, and can cause a nasty burn. You will need a food digital thermometers and a heavy saucepan.

Making Candy Apples are great to make for Halloween and a real treat for my Grandchildren, at great family tradition, a crispy red delicious apple smoothed in a sweet crunchy candy shell.
