Taffy Apples (like the ones made at Kennywood amusement park Pit Recipe
Posted by
Directions:
- Line a baking sheet with waxed paper or parchment paper; spray lightly with cooking spray.
- Insert a wooden skewer into the stem end of each apple.
- Combine the sugar, corn syrup, water and cinnamon stick in a medium saucepan.
- Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
- Bring to a boil- boil without stirring for 3 minutes.
- Brush down any crystals on the side of the pan with a pastry brush dipped in hot water.
- Boil until the syrup reaches 290 degrees (soft-crack stage, see note) and the syrup just begins to discolor.
- Remove the cinnamon stick.
- Immediately place the saucepan into a larger pot filled with hot (not boiling) water to the syrup from hardening.
- Add food coloring (we used about 7 drops).
- Working quickly, dip apples into syrup.
- Coat the apples evenly with the glaze.
- Twirl the apple at the end so the extra syrup drips off.
- Set the apples on prepared cookie sheet.
- Wait until the apples dry and cool completely before wrapping.
- Note: Soft crack stage is achieved when firm strands can be stretched or bent when removed from the water.
