Ingredients
Scale
- 6 medium Granny Smith apples
- 6 wooden craft sticks
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup corn syrup
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup Halloween-themed sprinkles
Instructions

- Insert wooden craft sticks into the top of each apple, pushing them firmly into the core.
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, corn syrup, and water.

- Lift the apple, let excess syrup drip off for a few seconds, and immediately roll in Halloween sprinkles.
- Place the coated apples on parchment paper to cool and harden completely.
