- Wooden Sticks or Straws
- Parchment Paper or Cooking Spray
Ingredients
Apples
- 6 apples Granny Smith or Honeycrisp Apples washed and dried, stems removed
Candy Coating
- 2 cups Jolly Rancher Hard Candies separated by color
- 2 tablespoons Water per batch of Jolly Ranchers
Optional Toppings
- as needed Edible Glitter or Shimmer Dust optional, for sparkle
Instructions
- Wash apples thoroughly, dry completely, and remove stems. Insert a wooden stick or colorful straw into the top of each apple.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, heat about 1/2 cup of Jolly Ranchers (one color at a time) with 2 tbsp water over medium heat. Stir until melted and smooth.
- Carefully dip each apple into the melted candy, swirling it to coat the apple evenly. Let any excess drip off.
- Place the coated apples on the prepared baking sheet and let the candy coating set. Optional: Once the first layer sets, drizzle a second color over the top for a rainbow effect.
- If desired, sprinkle with edible glitter while the candy coating is still sticky. Allow the apples to cool and harden fully before serving, about 15-20 minutes.
Notes
Pro Tips:
* Use Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples for a balance of tart and sweet.
* Be patient when allowing the candy coating to set; it needs time to harden properly.
* For a fun rainbow effect, layer different candy colors. Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 days. Avoid refrigerating, as it can cause the candy coating to sweat.
