bag of Jolly Ranchers, your favorite flavor
3 Granny Smith apples
cooking spray
things needed:
3 popsicle sticks
waxed paper
cookie sheet
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place waxed paper on cookie sheet.
Unwrap candies; place candies spaced apart on waxed paper.
Remove apple stems; wash apples.
Place popsicle sticks into apple cores.
Place apples with popsicle sticks facing up on a sheet of waxed paper.
Place candies in the oven 5 minutes or until candies have melted. If the candies require more than 5 minutes to melt, check every 2 minutes to be sure candies don't burn.
Remove hot cookie sheet from oven.
Lift waxed paper and form a cone with it. Use the cone to evenly pour melted candy onto apples. Avoid getting candy on the popsicle sticks.
Cool on the counter or chill in refrigerator. Your candy apples are ready when the candy has cooled and hardened.
***Cinnamon, green apple or cherry flavors are great with the apples. The grape flavor makes a beautiful candy apple too.
