Insert candy thermometer and continue to boil until temperature reaches between 300 degrees and 310 degrees (hard crack stage), about 20 minutes.

• Cook until candies dissolve, stirring constantly.
• Be careful not to boil.
• Add cinnamon, vanilla, cloves, and food coloring.
• Mix thoroughly.
• Boil mixture to 300 degrees using a candy thermometer without stirring.
• While mixture is boiling, generously prepare a baking sheet with cooking spray so it's ready ahead of time.
• As soon as mixture reaches 300 degrees, remove it from heat and quickly dip each apple-one by one-into the mixture until it is thoroughly coated.
• Set coated apples, standing on their bottoms with skewer pointing up, on baking sheet until mixture hardens.
• Let apples reach room temperature before eating.

DONNA'S CANDIED APPLES

Steps:

• In a medium nonstick pan, dissolve the cinnamon candies in water over low heat. Peel, core and cut the apples in 1/2 lengthwise. Once the candy has dissolved arrange the apples, flat side down, in the pan. Cook on low to medium heat until the apples are tender; turning often, about for about 45 minutes. The apples should be the color of the candy. When ready transfer to a serving platter and let cool.
• Once apples have cooled dollop 1 teaspoon of the Cream Cheese Topping on each apple. Garnish with a small piece of fresh parsley or a fresh mint leaf. Refrigerate until serving.
• Add all the ingredients to a small bowl and thoroughly combine with a hand-held mixer. Topping should be stiff. Refrigerate until ready to use.

CANDY APPLES

Steps:

• Clean apples. Place a wooden stick in the center of the apple. Set aside. Place the candy corn and licorice in separate bowls.
• Place the water, sugar, and corn syrup in a clean 3-quart saucepot. Stir to form wet sand.
• Place on medium flame until the sugar boils; at that point increase the heat to high. Occasionally, wash sides of pot with cold water and a brush, if needed, to prevent crystallization. Cook on high heat to 283 degrees F. Add red food coloring and swirl around in the pot; do not stir. Continue to cook to 300 degrees F. Remove from the heat and let rest for 3 minutes.
• Dip the apple on an angle, rotating the apple clockwise, to coat the apple. Immediately roll the apple in candy corn or licorice. Set aside to cool.

CANDIED APPLES

Steps:

• Place lollipop sticks or wooden craft sticks into each apple at the stem end. Set aside.
• In a heavy saucepan, mix together the sugar, golden syrup and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and continue to cook until the mixture reaches 300 to 310 degrees F (149 to 154 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms hard, brittle threads. This will take a good 45 minutes!
• Remove the sugar mixture from the heat and stir in the black currant syrup. Quickly dip all of the apples, holding them by the stick. You can let them cool by inserting the other end of the stick into a thick sheet of foam board. If that is not available, set the coated apples onto waxed paper or aluminum foil. Make sure they don't touch each other.

CANDY APPLES

Steps:

• Remove the stalks from the apples, then put them in a heatproof bowl and pour over boiling water from the kettle to cover them and leave for 3-4 mins. Remove with a slotted spoon and pat dry. (This removes the protective wax from the skin and makes the toffee stick to the apples better.)
• Push the sharpest end of each stick into the stalk-end of each apple, making sure it's firmly wedged in. Put a large piece of baking parchment on a board.
• Tip the sugar into a large saucepan, add the lemon juice and 100ml water. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sugar has dissolved. Swirl the pan gently to move the sugar around, but don't stir. Add the golden syrup and simmer the mixture (be careful it doesn't boil over) until it reaches 'hard crack' stage or 150C on a sugar thermometer. If you don't have a thermometer, test the toffee by dropping a small amount into cold water. It should harden instantly and, when removed, be brittle. If it's soft, continue to boil. When it's ready, drip in some food colouring, if you like, and swirl to combine. Turn off the heat.
• Working quickly, dip each apple into the toffee, tipping the pan to cover it fully. Lift out and allow any excess to drip off back into the pan before placing on the baking parchment. Repeat with the remaining apples. Gently heat the toffee again, if you need to. Leave to set. Best eaten on the same day.

• Add cinnamon candies to pot and continue boiling, washing down the sides of the saucepan with a wet pastry brush occasionally to prevent sugars from crystallizing.
• When mixture registers 302 degrees (hard crack) on a candy thermometer, remove from heat and stir in food coloring. Let stand until candy stops boiling and settles in bottom of saucepan, 1-2 minutes.
• Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and coat with nonstick cooking spray. Insert candy apple sticks or wooden craft sticks into stem end of apples. Carefully tilt pan and dip apples into candy, swirling to coat all sides. Allow excess candy to fall back into saucepan; transfer apples to prepared baking sheet to cool and harden.
