Ingredients:
- ½ cup water
- 6 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 6 wooden sticks
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup light corn syrup
- ¼ tsp cream of tartar
- Pink and blue food coloring gel (or any cotton candy-inspired colors)
- Cotton candy-flavored extract (optional, for extra flavor)
- Edible glitter or sprinkles (optional)
Directions:
- Scrub and dry the apples thoroughly to remove any wax, then insert a wooden stick into each apple. Arrange them on a parchment-lined tray.
- Combine the granulated sugar, light corn syrup, water, and cream of tartar in a saucepan. Stir on medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Raise the heat to high and let the mixture boil without stirring until it reaches 300°F (150°C). Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract, and cotton candy-flavored extract if desired.
- Divide the candy mixture into two separate bowls. Add pink food coloring to one bowl and blue food coloring to the other. Swirl each color using a toothpick to create a marbled effect.
- Tilt each bowl gently and dip each apple into both colored mixtures, swirling them to form a cotton candy-inspired design. Set them on parchment paper to cool and firm up.
- If desired, sprinkle edible glitter or sprinkles while the candy is still soft for a charming finish.
- Allow the candy apples to cool fully until the coating hardens. Enjoy them right away or wrap them for later!
