Delicious juicy apples dipped in a red sugar coating and then in desiccated coconut. Candy apples are a true Christmas classic in Denmark. These pretty red candy apples are so cosy to make and enjoy during the holidays. It is not difficult at all to make candy apples yourself, you just need to be very careful with the extremely hot sugar syrup that the apples are dipped in. The sugar syrup is coloured red with colouring paste or red food colouring, so it gets a beautiful festive colour. I dipped the apples in desiccated coconut, but you can also try toasted chopped nuts if you are not a big fan of coconut.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tips<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Remember that the apples must be completely clean and dry before you dip them in the sugar syrup, otherwise it will not stick to the apples. The sugar syrup also needs to reach a temperature of 150\u00b0C, so it is a good idea to use a thermometer to make sure the sugar reaches the right temperature. When the sugar boils, sugar crystals can form along the edge of the pan. You can easily remove them by brushing around the edge with a wet brush, for example a silicone brush. You can colour the sugar syrup any colour you like, and you can colour the coconut too.<\/p>\n<p>I used a few different apple varieties, but use whichever variety you like best. Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is my recipe for homemade candy apples with coconut.
