Description
These Galaxy Candy Apples combine a classic fall favorite with vibrant colors and a crunchy candy shell, making them perfect for parties or gifting.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium apples
- 2 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Food coloring (purple, blue, and pink)
- Rainbow sprinkles or edible glitter (for decoration)
Instructions
- Wash and dry the apples, and insert sticks into the tops.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, corn syrup, and water. Stir until sugar dissolves.
- Allow the mixture to boil without stirring until it reaches 300°F (hard crack stage).
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
- Divide the syrup into separate bowls and mix in food coloring to create swirling colors.
- Dip each apple into the candy coating until fully covered, allowing excess to drip off.
- Swirl the colors together for a galaxy effect.

- Allow to cool until the candy hardens before serving.
Notes
Ensure sugar fully dissolves before boiling to prevent crystallization. Store for up to 3–5 days at cool room temperature.
