4 cups sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup water
Flavor

I like candy apples with all the extra candy on the bottom 😋
I know several people who loves the extra candy on the bottom....lol. I have one customer that actually asks for extra candy on the bottom.
Facts
Me too
😂
😂
The one with the extra candy at the bottom was what I was raised on. Definitely want that one
Ok, I heard that! 😂😂😂
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
You’re so welcome. You’re just being greedy too. Many people like the extra candy on the bottom.😂😂😂
Excellent video. Straight to the point, and very professional! Thank you!
Hello Moon. Thank you so much.
Also adding the butter vanilla flavoring is a thing of genius. My apples are shiny and not sticky, boxing was so easy.
You're so welcome!💕
Thanks sis! Your apples are flawless. No bubbles, glossy and smooth and no big butt at the bottom!! Well done!
You’re so welcome. Thank you so much.💕
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!!!!!!!
You're so welcome. I'm so glad I was able to help you.
Idk who in their right mind would complain about extra candy 🤤 this video was perfect thank you!
Thank you 😂😂😂
It looked so pretty even with the candy at the bottom 😂❤❤ but yes more professional without the extra candy. I love this channel ❤❤❤
Thank you so much.💕
Thanks for sharing this technique!
You are so welcome, Marisela!
Thanks for you perfect, short but very simple wisdom on how to do this. I will definitely try this. God bkess you and your family! 🙏🙏🙏😍😘😘😘
You are so welcome!💕
Thank you so much for this video!
You are so welcome!
omg these look so aesthetic!
Thank you so much.💕
The extra candy is life
Some people do like the extra candy.😂😂
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
😂😂😂
Thank you for sharing this video it has helped me out a lot
You are so welcome!💕
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. UA-cam needs to start allowing subscribers and viewers to share pictures. I know they came out good. I'm so proud of you!💕
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!
I will be trying the 4-3-1 recipe next
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.💕
Thank you for this ☺️
You’re welcome 😊
Diy Diva love it
Thank you so much!💕
My kids love the extra candy on the bottom,not me lol ,thank you for your videos God bless you and your family 🙏
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.
Thank you for the tips
You're so welcome.
Definitely trying these Thank You
You’re so welcome.💕
You're so welcome.
I'm so happy I found u lol you make it look too easy
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!
I love the candy on the bottom
You must love the extra candy…lol.💕
These look so pretty ad delicious too. I love the color and I also love your sticks to just Beautiful...
Thank you so much.💕
I Love the bottom extra candy to eat it at the end 😁 how ever if I'm making for other I like the other method better
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...😂😂😂
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
Great job! You are so welcome!💕
Hi! These apples are beautiful! What brand
of gel coloring did u use?
Hi, Lisa.
For the white, I always use Wilton's white icing color. For the pink I used Hobby Lobby's brand, Sunny Side Up Bakery.
Thanks
You’re so welcome.💕
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: ua-cam.com/video/ZGVRT2y50sw/v-deo.html
Thank you for sharing
My pleasure! Thank you so much for watching. I'm glad I could help.
@@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
I don't even use vinegar and my apples always shine. So I would say that statement is false...lol.💕
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!!!

Thanks for the video. Can you use powder color instead of gel? How do you clean your apples?
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. ua-cam.com/video/L5YGfgi56Pg/v-deo.html Let me know if this helps you.

So pretty
Thank you so much.💕
Pretty cute! Question: when your sugar gets cool; how do you ( i guess,) reheat your syrup? I have to start over. Thanks in advance ☺
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!!
@@curvygyrl no, it will not damage the syrup. That's pretty much the best way to reheat it. And you're so welcome.
what is the name of the food coloring? I am so obsessed! & thank you so much for this tutorial
You’re so welcome. It’s gel food coloring. I use Hobby Lobby’s gel food coloring most of the time.
If the extra candy is not at the bottom. I don't even want it. 😂 beautiful apples mama.
Thank you so much!💕 Just greedy!😂😂😂
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.
The believe in yourself is what got me...thank you God❤
You got this!💕
After probably cleaning how long do you let it sit before dipping? Thank you
Let them sit at least 24-48 hours. During that 24-48 hour wait period make sure you continue to wipe your apples down. I usually do 24 hours.
Do you anything extra to the apple (obviously besides washing and drying) before you dip them??
Just let them sit at least 24 hours on the kitchen counter after cleaning. During that wait period just wiping them down and that's all.
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.
You can dip 2-3 days in advance so they will be fresh and put the in the refrigerator.💕
What kind of phone stand do you use for your videos? Thank you for all your videos.
Hello Bali. It's just a tripod.
@@DIYQUEENDIVA thank you hun. I really enjoy your videos!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoy my videos.
Is it normal for your candy to start getting thick after a couple of dips? How long should it stay thin before you have to reheat?
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: ua-cam.com/video/7k7tuxnsT0M/v-deo.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. ua-cam.com/video/7k7tuxnsT0M/v-deo.html
The kid in me kept saying yummy that extra that's the good part
😂😂😂
Do you use vanilla extract and the butter vanilla at the same time? Or one or the other? Thanks in advance!
I only use the butter vanilla.
@@DIYQUEENDIVA thank you!
What is the difference besides the color, dark Karo and light Cairo and what is best for your apples?
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.💕
First lol love your work
Thank you!
When you do this method is the apple exposed at the bottom? Can you show how it looks at the bottom once it dries?
Hi, Jill. I'll make sure I show the bottom of the candy apples when I make the next candy apple tutorial so you can see how it looks.
Yes this method you can see the bottom of the apple
Extra candy is the best lol but I’m all for perfection
Lollllllllll!💕
Does it matter what kind of white coloring you use gel oil does it matter
As long as it’s gel food coloring and not oil food coloring for chocolate.
You could hang them on a Christmas tree. They are so pretty🤗
🤣🤣🤣Somebody else told me the same exact thing. He said he thought these were actually Christmas ornaments!
@@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🤗
This is so sweet of you to say. Thank you so much.💕💕
Hello, what kind of flavoring is good for this recipe. Oil based? And what brand do you recommend. I wanna do cherry flavor candy apples.
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.💕
@@DIYQUEENDIVA I'll just stick to your exact recipe thanks 🩷
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.
How should k store candy apples that are made a day before the eventv
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 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.
Send me a message on Instagram, so I can help you.💕
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 😟
I’ve never used that but you’ll probably be okay. If not just use regular corn syrup if you need them today because you don’t have time.
@@DIYQUEENDIVA okay thank you so much for responding back to me I really appreciate it! God bless you and your candy apple business! 💖
You're so welcome and thank you so much.💕
Can you please recommend a good pot?
Hi. The two I use are located here in my Amazon shop. Just scroll down to candy apple pots - www.amazon.com/shop/diyqueendiva
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.
Do you know what’s a good brand for the neon colors
I love all of Hobby Lobby's gel food colorings. So my first choice would be Hobby Lobby's neon colors.
Hi what heat did you put the candy apple mix on and how did you know when it got to 300
No higher than 5. You need a candy thermometer.
Thank you so much replying
You're so welcome.💕
I want the apple with the foot on it😂 it’s opens up easily
😂😂😂
Can you use mini apples? Or are they not ideal?
You sure can.💕
Where did you get those sticks??!!!
Hello! I made these. Here's my tutorial on how to make them: How To Make BLING Candy Apple Sticks ua-cam.com/video/ZGVRT2y50sw/v-deo.html I also put all the supplies I used for the BLING Candy Apple Sticks in the description box down below for you. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
How many medium sized apples can you make in one batch?
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.
Does using corn syrup make it smoother?
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.💕
Are your apples cold when you dip them?
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.
Do you stir it while its cooking
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.
Where do u get the sticks from
Margo it depends on how much time I have. I usually make them ua-cam.com/video/ZGVRT2y50sw/v-deo.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.
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?
The candy will eventually breakdown, but it shouldn't breakdown that fast. You need to keep them cool. Did you place them in the refrigerator?
@@DIYQUEENDIVA thank you so much, I saw that two of them were melting
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.
@@DIYQUEENDIVA oh okay now I understand, thank you for the pointers! I’ll make sure to do that next time
At least you got the hard part done and that's making the candy apples....lol. You'll do great!
Hey love, my apples are coming out sticky, to the point where I can’t place them in the plastic treat bag, what am I doing wrong?
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.
@@DIYQUEENDIVA can I place them in the fridge after? Will that help?
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.
Can't you put in the fridge so it will harden faster and not run as much?
In order not to have a big bottom you must scrape the bottom of your apples well. The refrigerator is just to store your candy apples.💕
I followed your method but when I try to put my apples in bags they stick to the plastic what I’m doing wrong
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.
What to do with leftover candy ??
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 have a question. What is the best method to keep apples from melting at an outside festival in this heat?
Good question! This should help you here - ua-cam.com/video/QqNr5ZILwug/v-deo.html
@@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.💕
@@DIYQUEENDIVA Thank you very much. I am in Texas - 115 degree weather -everything melts out here!!
I wouldn't be able to live in TX with 115 degree weather. The only way I see your candy apples holding up outside is in a mini refrigerator.
How do u clean your apples
Here's a video on how I clean my apples with lemon juice, baking soda, and salt. ua-cam.com/video/L5YGfgi56Pg/v-deo.html
I don’t like perfect when it comes to candy apples I prefer the candy on the bottom aswell 😊😊
Lolllll😂😂😂
@@DIYQUEENDIVA I wanna make some but I haven’t got sticks 😂🤣😂
😂😂😂 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.😂😂😂
Hi ☺️👋
Good afternoon! How are you?
Do you make your candy apples with flavor? If so do you recommend and specific brand?
Kimberly yes I use Butter Vanilla by LorAnn's all the time unless the customer request for a different flavor.
I tried a similar recipe, but smaller batch, for slices and barely any stayed on the apples 😭 I may have to just try again with whole apples.
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.💕
@@DIYQUEENDIVA Thank you for all the info ❤️
You're so welcome.💕
I did the 6-4-1 method and my mixture would get a temp over 218. Anyone know why?
Because you didn’t have patience😂😂😂. Unfortunately candy apple mixture perfection can’t be rushed. It usually takes an hour to an hour an 15 minutes.💕
What kind of food coloring did you say?
Gel food coloring. With candy apples you can use any brand, just as long as it’s gel food coloring.💕
I followed the 6-4-1 and my mixture is still watery. Will it eventually thicken up?
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!💕😂
How do you know..what's your method when it's 300 degrees?
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.
@@DIYQUEENDIVA ok thank you
You're so welcome.
Why I always get bubbles on my candied apples???
Hello. You're not cleaning the wax off good enough. How are you cleaning your apples and are you doing the 24-48 hour wait period?
xtra candy on the bottom

Don’t you have to boil to a certain temp?
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.
It ain’t a candle apple to me without the extra candy on the bottom. Lol

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!!!
