I would like to personally thank you for this Candy apple recipe. It has helped me out tremendously. I did 12 apples I could have done about six more. Again thanks for this candy apple recipe. It was
I have never had candy apple ever but id say i want the perfect glossy SATUSFYING apple. It would be so satusfying to eat! I can completely understand if u like the extea candy at the bottom but more satusfy
i have a question. how far in advance can you make candied apples? i prepped some today & are going to tomorrow? but when can i start dipping & storing in fridge? i have a pop up shop on saturday.
Hi I have a question for you. Where I live I can’t find the brand that you use with the dry powdered corn syrup for the candy apples. I did find the Lorann candy apple mix is it okay if I can substitute it or will it throw off the other ingredients to make the candy apples for the small batch using the 3-2-1 method that I need to do today??? Please help 😟
@@DIYQUEENDIVA thank you very much!! I have another question. What is good number of candy apples to start with since h this is my first festival? Do you use dry ice to keep them cool along with making them with the hi sweet dry corn syrup?
You're so welcome. I don't use dry ice to keep them cool, but you're going to need to make sure you keep them cool. It's so much shade and trees here because I live in the mountains that I usually find a cool spot when I'm outside. I also have a mini refrigerator plugged up to put my candy apples in to keep cool. I hope this helps you. Those candy apples are going to sell so you make as many as you feel comfortable making. Since this is your first one go ahead and make 50-75. I do use dry corn syrup for outside events.💕
Hi, LaShonda. This is a humidity issue. Your house is too warm. I know it's winter time but I always make sure my house is 65 degrees or cooler when I'm doing candy apples. Keeping my house cool always prevents my apples from becoming sticky.
This will be a preference because what I like you may not like. The majority of the time I only use Lorann’s butter vanilla unless a customer ask for something different. To answer your question I like Lorann’s flavorings. However you can use what flavoring you like. Just don’t use too much because an excessive amount can make your candy apples thick too.💕
You're so welcome, but you can change flavors. The butter vanilla is just my standard, default flavor. Cherry is a good flavor. Just try different flavors as you continue to make them and then you'll figure out which one is your favorite.
To be honest the extra candy ones are how a classic candy apple looks, to me those are perfect 😂 I’d be disappointed if I got the round one. Thanks for the recipe! I love the pink colour they look great
Thank you, and you're welcome. Yes, I can see kids loving the extra candy on the bottom...lol. That's more candy for them. But if you want the perfect looking candy apple or for your customers you might want to make sure you scrape the extra candy off on the side of your pot...lol Have a good day!
I like the extra on the bottom too. I ordered some apples a few years ago. I told the lady I wanted the old fashioned red apples. An they didn’t have the candy on the bottom. I was so disappointed.
What are the sticks you're using to hold apples? Looks like rope but sturdy. Also is the white cake frosting color needed or is that to avoid transparent candy?
Yes the white prevents your candy apples from being translucent. The sticks are candy apple sticks I made: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZGVRT2y50sw.html
Thank you for sharing! I tried this 6-4-1 recipe and it worked but took a really Long time to reach temp, also it crystalized after a few apples (due to my cold apples) just reheated and worked I also ADDED some Red Hots for that cinnamon flavor!
Hey! Why are your apples cold? Only put them in the refrigerator after you have dipped them if you want them cold. The next time don’t do that and you’ll have perfect candy apples with no crystallization and no reheating because you’ll have time to dip all of your candy apples. This candy apple mixture takes a little longer to cook for perfection and perfection takes time, but it will reach 300 degrees. I hope this helps you.💕
Omg... The color came out beautiful. Where did you get the sticks from they are pretty😍... please provide a link. This method you showed was bomb🙌🏾.. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much. You can make the sticks like me here - ru-vid.comZGVRT2y50sw?si=a41sLGHWCiC6a4eS ru-vid.comZGVRT2y50sw?si=8HoyYhjK7nu7X3-o and I also have them in my Amazon bake shop here - www.amazon.com/shop/diyqueendiva under candy apple sticks. ***2 years ago, I started making NO THICK candy apples and now this is all my customers want!

I've tried and failed tried and failed tried and failed again to make candy apples a few years back so I gave up. I stumbled upon your video after saying I'm going to give this one more try. Long story short my apples came out amazing for the first time. Your recipe is perfect. I will be making these again in a couple weeks for my cousins baby shower. Thank you so much!!!!!!!
I always use light corn syrup so I can get the color I am trying to achieve. The dark corn syrup will change or tint the color of the candy apple mixture. I hope this helps you.💕
Great question. When you reheat are you adding water first? Make sure you add a little water first and put it on low to medium until it reaches 300 degrees again. I hope this helps you.
@@DIYQUEENDIVA thank you so much! I thought if you added more water, it would damage the syrup. I don't know why I thought that ( because) the mixture has water in it. Thank you!!
I really need a one on one. I have given up. I purchased the same pot as you, I use a single burner on med, and bought a new thermometer. Mixture still burns and takes over an hour. I dont add color until the end. I cant for the life of me figure out what im doing wrong.
Yes, because corn syrup is an invert sugar. Invert sugar inhibits the formation of sugar crystals and provides a smooth texture to hard candy, caramel, and other cooked sweets. I hope this helps you.💕

Hello. I've never used powdered color so I wouldn't know how that will come out. I always suggest what I use. I know 100% that gel food coloring works great! I clean my apples with lemon juice, baking soda, and salt. Here's one of my tutorials on how to clean your apples. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-L5YGfgi56Pg.html Let me know if this helps you.
With the 6-4-1 candy apple recipe, a minimum of 12 and up to 24 small candy apples. With the 311 and 411 candy apple recipes in my experience not many medium apples.
Some people like to make lollipops with it or hard candy using silicone molds to shape it. I usually just fill my pot up with water and and let it boil out until it dissolves into liquid and pour it down the sink.
I use 6-4-1 for 12-24 candy apples. 6 cups of sugar, 4 cups water, 1 cup light corn syrup and flavor. I know when my candy apple mixture reaches 300 degrees by using a candy thermometer. I watch the candy thermometer until it reaches 300 degrees. Let me know if I’ve answered your questions.
For sliced apples you must freeze the slices first. This is the best way to get candied sliced apples. Did you freeze your slices? Please do not freeze your whole apples, only your slices.💕
@@DIYQUEENDIVA I froze for 2 hours. I'm beginning to think my problem was not getting my sugar hot enough. I was so scared to burn it. It never hardened once out of the pot.
If you don't have a candy thermometer you are setting yourself up for failure before you even start. I say this all the time because I made the same exact mistake as a beginner. You must have a candy thermometer.💕

NO NO NO....! I don't know ANYONE who doesn't think the toffee at the bottom is the best bit, I would feel cheated if I got one without it! It's like roast pork without the crackling!!!
Hi, Z&R Family! Ohhhhh, I know this particular problem all too well. Two years ago, when I first started dipping candy apples this would happen to me all the time. Everyone would say, I was moving too slow. Even when I got faster at dipping apples, my candy would still get too thick before I finished. Look at the following video tutorial and this should help you the next time: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7k7tuxnsT0M.html
@@DIYQUEENDIVA yes I finally had a successful attempt at making candy grapes and apples but the mixture started to thin before I could finish dipping all of them
@@thenicholsfamily8483 the candy will thicken up very fast using the 311 and 411 candy apple recipes if you don't move fast. Definitely try this recipe the next time to get 8-24 apples covered and the candy doesn't get thick too fast on you. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7k7tuxnsT0M.html
I just wanna say Thank You 😊 I tried to make apples once and screwed them up royally and never tried again until I watch your video and when I say I am so proud of my apples and it’s all because your video❤ I wish I could post a picture to show you
Awwww! You're so welcome. This means so much to me. I'm so glad that I was able to help you. RU-vid needs to start allowing subscribers and viewers to share pictures. I know they came out good. I'm so proud of you!💕
I'm glad my videos are helpful to you. Here is one of my candy apple tutorials that can help and give you ideas on where to sell your candy apples. I hope this helps you. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eBFu64BV5TM.html
How should I store apples that are made a day before the event? Should I put them in the treat bag and sit it in the fridge, should I just sit them on a platter in the fridge or should I leave it out?
Yes, put them in the treat bag and sit them in the refrigerator. Do not leave them out. I usually leave my bags opened until it's time to close them and put twist ties on.
Ok! I understand! Many people like the the extra candy. I have a few customers that will request the extra candy on the bottom. That actually saves me time, because I don't have to worry about scraping the bottom of the apples. I dip the candy apples and keep it pushing...lol. However, if I want them to look perfect for parties and events, I will scrape the bottom of the candy apples until the wheels fall off...😂😂😂
Yes, put them in the treat bag and sit them in the refrigerator. Do not leave them out. I usually leave my bags opened until it's time to close them and put twist ties on.
I'm so happy you found me too...lol. At the beginning it took me several times to get the hang of it. I started this channel to help newcomers so they don't have the same problems I had. Especially making 12 candy apples in one pot. I want this to be easy for you all. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask me. I'm here for all of you!
Hey how are you doing today! I’m a beginner candy apple maker and I have a client that wants neon candy apples for a birthday party where would I find those colors.
Hello Keisha. I'm doing pretty good today. Hobby Lobby sells neon colors. If you can't find the colors there you can go to Amazon and type in, "neon gel food color" and many will pop-up there. I hope this helps you.
The temperature or humidity in your house is too high. Your house needs to be cool especially during hot days like today. It’s a way to get those apples in the bag. Let me go find the video. My house is usually 65 degrees or cooler while dipping candy apples.
If you can't get your house cool or the humidity down, yes place them in the refrigerator. I hear this a lot from people in FL, AL, VA, and TX. This is due to the heat and/or humidity in those states.
I let my apples sit out on the kitchen counter 24-48 hours during the cleaning process before I dip. I know a lot of people like cold candy apples. They just put them in the refrigerator bagged after dipping them.
NOOOOoooooooooooooooo! Don't do that. You will mess up your candy. Only stir when mixing it. Once it hit the stove don't stir. Let it cook until it reaches 300 degrees with a candy thermometer.
😂😂😂 I have plenty of candy apple sticks in my Amazon bake shop. You know you can use popsicle sticks too but I don't recommend those boring thangs unless they are cute.😂😂😂
Margo it depends on how much time I have. I usually make them ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZGVRT2y50sw.html. If I'm too tired to make them, I order them from my Amazon bake shop www.amazon.com/shop/diyqueendiva. Or if I'm out and about shopping at Hobby Lobby I will also pick some up there as well. I hope this helps you.
@@DIYQUEENDIVA It’s the color, the stick you chose,all of it. You are blessed with an artful eye. Combined with your calm voice and clear information make you a wonderful teacher. God bless🤗
Hi there I have a question, so last night I made some candy apples and after about 20 mins a bagged them up. They were good and came out perfect but when I woke up I notice the candy started to break down from the top . What’s the cause of that?
Either you didn't clean your apples too good at the top. Or your house was too hot. If your house is not 65 degrees or below make sure you place them in the refrigerator overnight.
Now that I see this question 2 hours later, how did your candy apples come out? Did you let it cook to 300 degrees without stirring the candy apple mixture while it was cooking? After the candy mixture reaches 300 degrees, scrape the bottom of your candy apples on the side of the pot. Then place them either on parchment paper or a silicone mat. As soon as you place them down they will get hard automatically, like right away. But you must let your candy cook to 300 degrees. You must have patience while the candy is cooking because it can take anwhere from an hour to an hour and 15 minutes. I hope this helps you.💕
@@DIYQUEENDIVA Thank you for this! I made the mistake of stirring and I think I have the wrong type of thermometer because I think that actually had a lot to do with it. I tried to be cheap and get any kind of thermometer thinking they all work the same lol but I'm assuming I need one that made specifically for candy. I will try again. Thank you.
I'm gonna get you...lol. Yes, please have a candy thermometer. I knew you was over there doing something you didn't have no business doing....LOLLLLLLLLLL!💕😂
@@DIYQUEENDIVA can I ask you a question they say vinegar make your apple shine more is that a true statement because I have been using the recipe 3 2 1 or the 411 and for my coloring, I prefer chef master or Wilton
You need to make sure you have a candy thermometer and make sure your candy cooks until it reaches 300 degrees. If you are a beginner, having a candy thermometer is important...lol.
