Poison Apple Ingredients

Method

Poison Apple Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Apples

    Wash and dry the red apples thoroughly. Insert a lollipop stick into the top of each apple.

  2. 2

    Make the Syrup

    In a saucepan, combine granulated sugar, water, and corn syrup. Cook over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.

  3. 3

    Add Food Coloring

    Once the mixture comes to a boil, stop stirring. Allow it to boil until it reaches the hard crack stage (300°F or 149°C). Remove from heat and immediately add black food coloring, stirring gently to combine.

  4. 4

    Coat the Apples

    Dip each apple into the hot syrup, swirling to coat evenly. Allow excess syrup to drip off before placing on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

  5. 5

    Add Candy Melt Drizzle

    Melt the green candy melts according to package instructions. Drizzle the melted candy over the coated apples to create a 'poison' effect.

  6. 6

    Finish with Sea Salt

    Sprinkle coarse sea salt over the apples for an added touch of flavor and decoration.

  7. 7

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the apples to cool completely until the syrup hardens before serving.
