Candy apple
Candy apple
Candy apple (pronunciation: /ˈkændi ˈæpl/), also known as toffee apple outside of North America, is a sweet treat made by coating an apple with a layer of sugar that hardens when cooled.
Etymology
The term "candy apple" is derived from the English words "candy" and "apple". "Candy" comes from the Arabic word qandi, meaning made of sugar, while "apple" comes from the Old English æppel.
Preparation
The candy apple is prepared by dipping an apple into a heated sugar syrup, which is then allowed to cool and harden. The sugar syrup may be flavored or colored. The apple is typically skewered with a stick or similar implement, making it easier to coat and to eat.
Variations
There are many variations of the candy apple, including the caramel apple, which is coated in caramel instead of a sugar syrup, and the chocolate apple, which is coated in chocolate. Some candy apples are also coated in nuts, sprinkles, or other toppings after being dipped in the sugar syrup.
