The longer they sit, the more moisture will build up in the apple and the candy will eventually start to dissolve.ġ.Start by washing your apples, drying them, and removing the stems(twist until they snap off or use the tip of a paring knife to dig them out).Ģ.Insert wooden skewers(knobby sticks are also fun!) into the center of each apple.ģ.Assemble ingredients. *These are best served and eaten on the day they are made.Once the apples have hardened and cooled they are ready to eat!.Hold the apple upside down for a few seconds before placing on the parchment paper to help prevent excessive pooling of the candy.Hold the apple above the pan and let the excess syrup drip off for a few seconds.*Let the candy cool for 30 seconds and stir to break up the bubbles before dipping for a smoother finish.Working quickly, tilt the pan to the side to concentrate the syrup and dip each apple into the mixture, turning to coat all sides.When the syrup reaches a temperature of 290 degrees F(143 C.), remove from the heat(remove the thermometer as well).Do not stir the syrup once it has started to boil! While the mixture heats up and begins boiling, continuously brush down the sides of pan with water using the basting brush to prevent sugar crystals from forming. Fix a candy thermometer to the side of the pan and turn the heat on to medium-high.Add about ½ teaspoon of purple gel icing color to the pan and stir lightly.Add the sugar, water, and corn syrup to a medium saucepan.You’ll also want to have a sheet of parchment paper next to the stove to set your apples on after dipping.
Make sure to have a small cup of water and a basting brush nearby.

Start by washing your apples, drying them, and removing the stems(twist until they snap off or use the tip of a paring knife to dig them out). They bring out the color much better.Īt our Villains party, of the four recipes this was the most striking. Everyone asked how we made them!Ĭheck out Disney’s new Descendants, in stores now, on iTunes and on the Disney Channel. I also noticed that lighter apples work better than dark ones. One thing to note, as the candy cools, it gets harder to work with, so you may need to stick it back on the warm burner. I finished dipping the other 6 apples and was able to cover all 8 successfully. Have wax paper prepared, (sprayed with non-stick spray) and then dip your apples (stuck with your sticks).ĭip your first few apples (I dipped two) and then added the black food coloring. Once you reach that temperature, add a little bit of blue food coloring to the boiling mixture. (Use a candy thermometer.) Try not to go above it, because your candy will burn. To begin, combine the sugar, corn syrup and sugar into a small pot and bring to a temperature of 300F. After you are done, the apples should look just like this. Then do a quick scrub of the apples, you”ll see the wax start to come off. Then boil some water and dip each apple in the boiling water for 10-15 seconds. This is a simple process, get a large bowl, add a spoonful or two of lime juice and a tablespoon of baking soda. If you are not aware, apples are waxed so they shine bright. You will need some Wilton food coloring, blue and black, as well as 1/2 cup of corn sugar, 2 1/2 cups of sugar and 1 cup of water.īefore you can do ANYTHING, you will need to clean the food wax off your apples. Grab a few and then sharpen them to a point. The process of making these candy poison apples was very straight forward. While the candy can get a little hard (and isn”t super teeth friendly), they were the most talked about element of my villains party. these were a huge hit at the party, they made an impressive centerpiece. I also used Evie”s won fashion to select the colors, blue and black. the have real branches that add an element of charm and mystery. Instead of making the perfect poison apple, red and delicious, I took a page out of Evie”s book. She quickly realizes that she is also more than just a face, searching for her prince charming.Īrmed with her mother’s Magic Mirror, she tries to carry out an evil plan (and get help on chemistry.) She learns so many lessons and eventually becomes a budding designer.īack to these delicious poisonous apples. So I put a fun evil twist on this recipe that is inspired by Evie, the daughter of the Evil Queen from Snow White (dare we mention her name) from Disney”s new movie: Descendants. Evie is excited to get off the exiled island and go to the new high school.
It”s so hard not to have an evil villains party without the most evil recipe of all: the poison apple.
