Making Candy Apples

Candy Apple Coating

Candy apple coating is a mix of various sugars: sucrose, glucose, and dextrose. Hard candies have

traditionally given chefs trouble. However, using fully prepared mixes such as our APPL-EZ

eliminates most chances of a bad batch.

Follow the instructions on the APPL-EZ bag for the proper amount of sugar and water.

In APPL-EZ, or any other dextrose-based mix, the stated quantity of water is very important.

• Too much water results in a longer cooking time and thicker batch.

• Not enough water results in crystallization and “raw” candy.

• Make sure there is ample gas for the unit.

Apple Sticks

The large 5½" long, round Northern wood stick is preferred. The length makes small apples

seem larger. Gold Medal also sells the smaller 4½" lengths for economy. The round geometry

makes spinning the apple in the pot easier than flat or square sticks.

Amount of Water

Sufficient water must be used to allow for the correct cooking time. Cooking time is the most

important aspect of candy making.

• Too short of cook time leads to crystallization and no set-up.

• Too much time causes a brownish color, a burnt taste, and too thick a batch.

• Optimum cooking time is between 15 and 20 minutes.

Types of Apples

Pick a hard apple, (in either color). Dipping an apple in hot candy actually cooks the “meat” of the

apple just under the skin. The juices in this “meat” make the skin become sticky.

Never use cold refrigerated apples. Allow refrigerated apples to warm up to room temperature,

otherwise, the candy may not stick to the apple skin.

Temperature

Optimum cooking temperature is 275°F.

Remember: The cooking process actually means melting the sugar crystals. Sugar burns

at 330°F; to be on the safe side, never allow temperature to exceed 300°F.

Candy Apple Stoves Model No. 4110BG, 4110HD

Page 16

gmpopcorn.com

Dipping the Apples

Make sure apples are cleaned and sticks are inserted. When temperature is 275°F, turn heat OFF.

1. Pick up apple by stick, with thumb and index finger, insert into candy apple coating

(immersing entire apple).

2. Remove from candy and carefully scrap off excess candy.

3. Place on greased cooling rack.

Ground Peanut Coatings

Rolling candy apples in ground peanuts makes them very attractive. You must roll apples

immediately after dipping, otherwise nuts may not stick. Shredded coconut may also be used.

Cellophane Wrapping

Cellophane wrappers keep apples good for several days. They are a must in high humidity areas.

Wrap apples as soon as they cool.

Care and Cleaning

WARNING

To avoid burns, DO NOT touch heated surfaces.

DO NOT place or leave objects in contact with heated surfaces.

009_092414
