These are the kind you found at the circus or carnival! Not the newer version covered with cramel. Candy thermometer is needed for this, as well as popsicle sticks. The number of apples needed depends on the size of the apples, probably 4 medium ones. The recipe states that each batch candies approximately 1 dozen medium apples. I'm not sure I trust that. Cook time depends on your altitude where you live, heat of your burner, and pot used.

SERVES 6 (change servings and units)

Omg. So good!!! Thanks to you, I can now easily make candy apples just like at rural fall fests, but on a stovetop in the middle of the Bronx! Next time I'm putting coconut flakes on the batch. And no HFCS and icky stuff involved here either like with storebought, which makes it all the better...
