Description
A delightful twist on the classic caramel apple, Galaxy Candy Apples feature vibrant colors and sweet flavors, perfect for gatherings or a fun family activity.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium-sized apples (granny smith, red delicious, etc.)
- 2 cups candy melts (various colors)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (for thinning candy melts)
- Food-safe glitter or sprinkles
- Wooden sticks or skewers
- Parchment paper
- Cooking thermometer (optional)
Instructions
- Wash the apples thoroughly under cold water to remove any wax.
- Push wooden sticks into the core of each apple, about halfway through.
- Pat the apples dry with a clean towel.
- Place candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
- Mix in coconut oil to achieve a thinner consistency for easier coating.
- Holding the stick, dip each apple into the melted candy, swirling to coat evenly.
- For a galaxy effect, drizzle different colored melts on top while the first layer is still wet and use a skewer to swirl the colors gently.
- Immediately sprinkle the food-safe glitter or sprinkles over the wet candy coatings.
- Place coated apples on parchment paper and let them stand until the candy hardens completely, about 30 minutes.
Notes
Experiment with flavored candy melts or use dark chocolate instead of candy melts for variations. Store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
