Ingredients for Homemade Colored Apple Candy Recipe:

- Approximately 4 apples
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- Half a tablespoon food coloring
- Half a cup water

How to Make Apple Candy:

- Firstly, prepare the syrup. Add 1 cup of granulated sugar and half a cup of water, cook until it boils.
- Once the syrup boils, add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and half a tablespoon of red food coloring, continue boiling the syrup.

- To check if the syrup is ready for coating, drop a few drops into cold water. If it solidifies, the syrup is ready. Remove the mixture from heat.

- Dip all the apples on sticks into the cooked syrup. Coat the entire surface of the apple with the red-colored sugary syrup. If there are any gaps or the syrup doesn't cover evenly, use a spoon to fill in those areas.

- Place the apple candies on a plate lined with parchment paper and let them sit until they solidify. Once they harden, they are ready to be served. Enjoy!

Regardless of the type of apple, you can use any variety for this candy recipe. We used green apples, but you can choose your preferred type. Even using country apples will yield fantastic results.

As shown, making apple candy at home is easy and healthy. The use of food coloring is optional, meaning you can choose not to use it. The general process for making apple candy involves coating the outer surface of the apple with sugary syrup, which then solidifies. After removing the syrup from heat, quickly dip the apples while the syrup is still liquid. If the syrup cools and solidifies, it becomes challenging to make apple candy.
