# What You'll Need:
→ Apples
01 - 8 small to medium Granny Smith or Gala apples, washed and thoroughly dried
02 - 8 wooden sticks
→ Candy Coating
03 - 2 cups granulated sugar
04 - 1/2 cup light corn syrup
05 - 3/4 cup water
06 - 1/2 teaspoon red gel or liquid food coloring
07 - 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
→ White Chocolate Drizzle
08 - 3 ounces white chocolate, chopped or chips
09 - 1 teaspoon coconut oil or vegetable oil
# Directions:
01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease. Insert a wooden stick firmly into the stem end of each apple.
02 - In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, water, and cream of tartar. Stir gently to combine.
03 - Set over medium heat and attach a candy thermometer to the side of the pan. Bring to a boil without stirring further.
04 - Once the mixture reaches 250°F, add the red food coloring and swirl the pan gently to mix without stirring.
05 - Continue boiling until the candy reaches 300°F. Immediately remove from heat.
06 - Working quickly and carefully, tilt the pan and dip each apple into the hot candy, turning to coat evenly. Let excess drip off, then place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat for all apples.
07 - Allow the candy coating to set completely for approximately 10 minutes.
08 - Melt white chocolate and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second bursts, stirring until smooth.
09 - Drizzle melted white chocolate over the cooled candy apples using a spoon or piping bag. Let set for 10 minutes before serving.
