Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 Granny Smith apples
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ tsp red food coloring
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice
  • Candy thermometer

Instructions

  1. Prepare a bowl of salted water. Peel apples and use a melon ball scooper to create balls. Soak apple balls in the salted water to prevent browning.
  2. Pat dry and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Insert lollipop sticks into each apple ball and freeze for 15 minutes.
  3. In a saucepan, combine sugar, water, food coloring, and lemon juice over medium-high heat. Stir once and bring to a boil until it reaches the hard crack stage (300-310°F).
  4. Quickly dip each frozen apple pop into the hot candy mixture until fully coated; place upright on another parchment-lined sheet.
  5. Freeze again for a few minutes until set.
