Bourbon Candy Apples
Ingredients
8 Granny Smith apples
8 wooden sticks
1 (16 ounces) package of brown sugar
2/3 cup dark corn syrup
3/4 cup water
2 tablespoons bourbon whiskey
Directions to make Bourbon Candy Apples,
Insert wooden sticks 3/4 of the way into the stem end of each
apple. Place apples on a cookie sheet covered with lightly greased
aluminum foil.
Combine sugar, corn syrup and water in a large saucepan and bring
to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and
simmer until thermometer registers 290 degrees F (143 degrees C).
Remove from the heat and stir in the bourbon if desired.
Keep the saucepan over low heat to keep the caramel liquid for
dipping the apples. Working quickly, carefully dip apples in the
caramel. Place apples on the greased aluminum foil until coating
has cooled and hardened.
