These were easy to make. It takes longer for the temperature to reach 300 because you have to wait for the water to boil off. So, don't worry that it isn't going as fast as you think. Also, use a small pot so the liquid is deeper. I also did what another reviewer suggested and sprinkled a cookie sheet with sugar to set the apples on. I also took the left over candy and poured it into little tart pans and made candy discs. I will make this recipe again. Thanks for sharing.

This is very very close to my mom's recipe that she has been making every Halloween for 40 years. She sprinkles white sugar on the cookie sheets then sets the candied apples on that. They don't stick to the pans and they have a sugary bottom that hardens and makes it easier to wrap in plastic wrap. I prefer the candy to the candy apples anymore. There isnt many kids left at home anymore but on Halloween all the past kids come knocking on the door. It wouldnt be halloween without her candy apples.

I have a very similar recipe that I've been making for years. However, it just didn't taste like I remembered them. After trying your recipe today, I knew I had found the Secret ingredient. It has to be that tiny bit of cinnamon. What an amazing difference it makes. Thanks Chef Dee, for setting me straight.

I love this recipe and I am in awe of your canada cooks section. As a fellow torontoanian, It is great to see someone with a real sence of toronto and canadian pride. Now,if only I could snatch some of the recipes I love from the CNE food building... that would be heaven!!
