Stir together sugar, water and corn syrup in a thick-bottomed pot over high heat until it starts to boil. Last night, I made cinnamon candied apples so I could share the yumminess with Chica and share my grandma's recipe with you! I actually messed up the first time I made it, so watch below for my tips on NOT to do. Oh, those were so good! My grandmother knew of my love of cinnamon candied apples so she would often make them for me. I would always get one as a treat and they were so big and crunchy that Dad always had to take the first bite so my little mouth could handle eating the rest. My parents would take me to the local fruit and vegetable stand every Saturday and when it was apple season, they always had these huge, homemade, cinnamon candied apples for sale. (This is the same girl who will, at times, keep an open can of dulce de leche on her kitchen counter to swipe a spoonful as a delicious treat from time to time.) I, on the other hand, grew up with the wonderful fall time treat of cinnamon candied apples. Chica can't imagine anyone preferring anything on an apple besides caramel. 4) Clean up: Hardened candy in the pot can be dissolved by filling the pot with water and boiling until candy has dissolved.Chica and I have been engaged in a great debate over which is better: caramel apples versus candied apples. 3) Apples that have a very thick candy coating will be almost impossible to bite into, but can be smacked down gently on the counter to crack. The candy should stick no problem! 2) If the candy mixture gets too thick during the dipping process, simply reheat it over medium heat and continue coating your apples. After inserting the wooden sticks into the apples, quickly dip apples in the boiling water, one at a time for 5-10 seconds and then thoroughly dry them. To remove the wax from the apples, bring about 6 cups of water to a boil. Notes: 1) Apples purchased from a grocery store often come with a waxy coating, which will prevent the candy from sticking to the surface and does not always come off easily by washing the apples.Wrap candy apples in cellophane and serve them at a Halloween party or hand them out for trick or treat. Store candy apples in an airtight container, in the fridge, for about 3 days. Let apples cool for at least 10 minutes to harden before eating.Work quickly, as the mixture cools fast and becomes very thick. Place coated apples on greased parchment or foil.

Once coated, hold apple above the pot for a couple seconds to let excess dip off.
