A fond memory. Back in the mid 1970s, a friend and I (we were around 10) made candied apples for a school fundraiser bake sale. Neither one of us knew what we were doing and didn't ask for help. We luckily made the candied apples without getting burns, and the were the prettiest candied apples you have ever seen. We proudly took them to the bake sale and sold them for $4.00 an apple. I can't believe anyone bought them for that price. That would probably be equivalent of asking $12.00 per apple now. Surprisingly, we sold every one of them. My friend and I are still best friends after all these years, and talk about this memory every year at this time.
What a lovely memory to be able to share with your friend in person after all those years! Would you believe $5 in 1975 is actually worth $23 in today's money!! But people always pay a premium (and more) for homemade goodies at fundraisers. We made a lot for my children's annual school fairs over the years.
Hello, Friend. As a 50ish year old man with no interest in cooking, I am having trouble figuring out why and how this is so entertaining, comforting, and relaxing. You're a good egg, and we need to see more Josh.
Probably the simplest answer to your question is that everyone has different interests. A lot of people, even women, probably don’t get entertained by watching videos like this… Whereas others love it. I personally love it…not because I feel like she’s a friend talking to me through the screen, but she does the things that I wish I could do, but never have had a chance to. So it’s almost like it’s occurring vicariously through her… If that makes sense at all.

We always threw in some red hots candies in with our candy apple mixture. My daughter has taken a melon baller and used it to carve out little balls of apple and used cocktail sticks to dip them in the caramel and candy mixture . They made the perfect one bite and were really cute on the party buffet table. That way you weren't forced to eat a whole apple covered in caramel or hard candy. Everyone loved them .
My 16 year old granddaughter works at an apple orchard in the bakery/food area. She dipped lots and lots of apples last weekend! They actually have a 5 person assembly line to keep the task moving along quickly. The apples turn out gorgeous, some are basic dips and others having amazingly creative decorations. She also makes and decorates hundreds of donuts each day. She loves her job!
I just love the fact that you are so considerate of Josh and what he does and doesn’t care for! I think that is awesome! You two are an exemplary example of a wonderful, loving marriage! ❤
Absolutely delish!! When we were dating, 56 years ago, my husband always brought me a caramel apple every night during the fall!❤ We will celebrate 56 years this December.❤❤🙏🙏xxoo
I am a 72-year-old Australian woman and I have such wonderful memories of my mother and her sister making toffee apples as we call them here. It has been quite a few years since I have even thought of them until we went to a celebration of life for a dear friend. Her request was for toffee apples and her friend made some for her, they were wonderful we always used red apples though and not as big as it is hard for children to eat a full big one. Never tried Caramel Apples though, will try them too. Thank you for bringing back the memories. I have always made caramel from condensed milk, my mum used to save up her condensed milk and do a large batch at once. She always cooked them for 3 hours to get a lovely golden colour. They will last forever in the pantry and are so handy. The best caramel ever. My mother had one that had been in the cupboard of our caravan for quite some time. When she opened the can it was a light caramel as they caramelise as the can ages.
Yes, you bite into those candied apples as your walking around the fair grounds. The first bite takes "skeels" LOL so you don't lose a tooth! Good family memories right there! 🥰😃
Friend, The discussion between you and Josh regarding the nuts and the teeth breaking and all the things was my very favorite part of the video. 😂 Including Josh’s commentary on the hierarchy of the nuts 🥜 lol. So awesome
I came here to comment this 😂 I was giggling the whole time. Especially when she said “maybe I can put walnuts in my brownies” and before she even finished her sentence he said “no!” 😂😂😂
I'm a veteran Toffee Apple consumer. I eat it straight from the stick. The trick is to peel a small section of the toffee off the apple with your teeth then bite into the apple. Then you can just munch around the apple until you're done. 🍏
Years ago I belonged to a cooking group called Gourmet. We would cook in pairs, had 4 - 5 dinners a year and they all had different themes. Each dinner included a printed menu with all of the recipes and usually also included a favor that the guests could bring home. One dinner that I co-hosted was a NY theme. We named it The Big Apple. I can’t remember everything we served but our centerpiece was a tray of fancy caramel apples packaged in cellophane bags just like you made. Watching you brought back some fun memories. ❤
Hi all in this lovely community. Becky, you're such an inspiration, I just wish I was 50 years younger and had a garden. Your island in the kitchen is bigger than my backyard. I follow your advice when it comes to the cooking though. Instead of cooking just for the day, I make enough for another day or two. Very much enjoy your vids and love the comments and tips from the subscribers. Love to you all ❤️ from Cape Town, South Africa
Yes Josh lol! We just bite right into it holding the stick! Guess who's making candy apples for the grandkids this weekend thank to you Becky...that would be me lol
I made caramel apples with my stepson when he was about 7-8 years old. He absolutely loved doing that project with me. He is now 29 years old. The memories you bring back to me is wonderful.
When I was a kid they sold Carmel sheets in the grocery store for caramel apples. They were caramel sheets with wax paper in between. Popcorn balls were also a fall or Halloween treat.
Becky, if my neighbor came over with homemade candy or caramel apples I would be so thrilled. In my youth I did bite into candy or caramel apples. It's messy, but fun
Love your videos! 💖 Please, forget the caramel apples and go for APPLE NACHOS. Slice the apples and top with your delicious caramel sauce. Then top with your favorite toppings...peanuts, crushed oreos, crushed bitterfingers, etc. Yum! 💕
I have been watching your channel from the beginning, and oh how I wish I was a friend or family member! You are so talented and gracious with your talent in the kitchen 🫶🏻🫶🏻
Ooh! Boiling a tin of condensed milk is how we make the ‘toffee’ for banoffee pie in Scotland. It’s also part of the recipe to make Tablet - which is delicious! Toffee apples always make me think of Bonfire Night (Guy Fawkes)…. It was always a big treat to get one!
If you can find a mini crock pot, that works well to hold the Caramel temp where you want it. You do have to refill it often, but it is the perfect size for dipping apples (and chocolate covered pretzels).
I love Josh's choice of words. I have never eaten a caramel or candied apple because I, too, like to control how I eat treats like that. "Control" being the operative word! I do, however, like to dip apples in a caramel sauce. I make a caramel apple bar for my kids and their friends with sliced apples, caramel dipping sauce, and various toppings (chopped nuts, mini m&ms, mini chocolate chips, etc).
YAY for you, Becky, not using artificial colors in those candy apples; I’m so SUPER proud of you! You have a much larger attentive audience than I do but I’m trying my best to inform people on the dangers of artificial colors. Again….WAY TO GO!
I agree, Costco should bring back the ice cream bar. It was so good! Love your adventurous spirit too, you never disappoint. No to glitter!! It gets everywhere. Your apples looked delicious!
I always wash my apples in really warm water and a drop of Dawn. Cuts the wax right off. We used Kraft caramels, melted, for dipping. We got candied and caramel apples at out county fair last week.
The back office of the nursing station is heaven for eaters every holiday season … you have to make sure and put some of the treats away from day shift for night shift cause days will eat everything out of house and home ..: ❤Glenda
I'm sitting here watching you, eating a dinner that I had prepared a few wks ago, and froze. Thanks to you, I have enough dinners and breakfasts prepared for myself for, at least a mth. Unfortunately my husbands taste is a lot plainer and he won't eat them, so I cook enough for between 4 to 6 portions and freeze in portions. I really enjoy your videos and all the tips that you give us. Thank you ❤🇮🇪
You should put your Carmel pan in a larger flat pan with hot water on the stove, that way your Carmel can be kept hot without over cooking, besure to used a rack in the boiling water pan. A jar ring works well.
Just a note, your countertop is very cold and will draw the heat out of your pot quickly. So, doing it on the stove or if putting on the counter, put a pot holder or towel under your pot first. They look amazing!
Hi Becky and Josh, yes you just bite into the candied apple. That one is my husbands most favorite! You also did a great job on the caramel ones with nuts. We grew up eating these as kids. I laughed out loud when Josh said "no no" to the walnuts in your brownies...too funny! TFS. God bless
Since Josh often does taste testing with you it was good seeing him in the video because we were able to see his facial expressions along with his opinions, your candied apples looked great!😊
Yummy, you did awesome. If you get some heavy duty styrofoam cover with parchment paper and pre made holes, to put the stick in once you dip them the Carmel won’t pool on them., just leave them off the paper the extra will run off.That’s how I do mine.❤
Hey Becky! Yum yum! 😋 😋 My favorite, were making some this weekend with the grandbabies with lots of different toppings 😊😊. Thanks for the tip on the wax.
I loved this Becky. Candy apples have always been my favorite snack to get at the fair and when I was 7 I lost my first front tooth after biting into a candy apple lol. I took a bite and when I pulled the apple back my tooth was still in the apple!
My grandma used to make candy apples with red hot candies , it was sooo good the cinnamon and spice from the candy and the sweetness of the apples ...she used to make them for the holidays when we were little, Okay so hear me out the red candy apples on the table with white christmas lights would look amazing!
Totally LOVED Becky tapping the candy apple against her front teeth! .. .. .. .. Smiles, Grins, Giggles and Laughs ……and Josh’s expressive caramel AND chocolate!
lol when my boyfriend says ‘very interesting’ about food I made, it means he is being polite but does not like it 😂 I have never been a fan of candied apples myself but they look so pretty 😘
I love this...the way you show & tell what your doing.... its great. I'm surprised you've never had a candy apple before. I will be watching this from now on. Thank You!🙏🤠
I think, as a child, I was strange because I've always hated the way it felt in my mouth to bite into a whole caramel apple. 😅 Slice them suckers up and I'm all over em!
Great multi-tasking skills. We took Carmel and candied apples to family gatherings, and everyone went crazy for them. Especially the older people. 😊 A big hit. Thanks for the Carmel recipe.
I remember when I was a little girl, Kraft, would have individual caramel squares that you would melt,then dip your apple in that. Mom would make them around Halloween. In fact, when I went trick or treating, sometimes we were given caramel apples instead of candy. I also remember Kraft sold caramel sheets, that you would wrap around the apple.
We always used to have toffee (candy) apples on Bonfire Night whilst watching the fireworks - the sight & sound instantly takes me back to my 80s childhood!
You can put sweetened condensed milk in the instant pot for 45 minutes to make dolce de Leche also. You just fill the instant pot up with water that comes halfway up the can of sweetened condensed milk. Also make sure you place your can on a trivet so that it’s not at the bottom of the instant pot
So fun! We do chocolate covered apples with dairy free chocolate. My little guy can't have dairy or red dye due to allergies but they look so good and LOVE that the dye free Watkins worked well. We use them for things that we don't cook with such good results!
Ah, I'm watching u make these apples that look so tasty. I ate the red candied apples as a little girl when my mom and I would shop downtown. They were sold from a mobile cart. Now, many many years later, my all time favorite is the caramel -dark chocolate-chopped peanut one. Thanks for the memories. Blessings to u!
If your using a wide ribbon again as a bow, instead just tie the ribbon in a knot and trim both ribbon ends with the center noth or at a angle ti one side. Have one ribbon end facing uo and the other downward. Its a simple but classic look. Yiur apples look great honey.🍎
Becky I’ve been making caramel apples for years and I still have the caramel pool under the apples, don’t think you can avoid that. 🥴 we love making caramel apples dipped in white chocolate and then rolled in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar. We call it “apple pie caramel apples” it is so good!
Hi Becky! I loved that you did caramel apples. I was screaming at my screen for you to make popcorn for the extra caramel…popcorn balls go great with the apples. Maybe next year. I am looking forward to your holiday cooking! Thanks for having us in your kitchen❣
These are sure to be a crowd pleaser. You can insert the skewer into the apple with a meat tenderizer hammer thingy. Also, I use my instant pot as a double boiler to keep the caramel from setting up too quickly.
The 'candy' apple is known as a 'toffee' apple here in Australia. Red is the most popular colour but I have seen them coloured green but not often. Woolworths (supermarkets) used to sell the red toffee apples, but now they seem to be seen only at the annual Shows/Fairs.
As a child I absolutely loved candied apples. Some of my friends loved the Carmel ones. We usually got them at amusement parks. I’ve made them as well. But that ended when I lost a tooth filling enjoying my candy apple!🍏 As for your extra Carmel using a double boiler will make the Carmel go back to state you once had it. Great job! Enjoy and have one for me!! ❤
Becky, I saw a tip on another channel where they were making caramel. To help prevent the sides of the pan from getting sugar crystals on them, or having to use a wet pasty brush to wipe it down, use a lid on top of the pan, preferably a clear glass one so you can monitor the caramel while its cooking. The steam it creates keeps the crystals from forming on the side of the pan. I tried it and it really works.
My Mom made Carmel Apples and Candy Apples every year for us. She would always melt red hots in the Candy Apples. They already had the red dye in them and they added a cinnamon touch to the Candy Apples. They were delicious.
You guys are so cute together. We don’t get to see Josh enough. He’s a lucky guy in that you keep his belly full and happy. Lol. The apples all look sooo delicious. I’d love to try this….
My grandmother used to make the red cinnamon apples as well as caramel apples. She made some fancy rolled/dipped in coconut or nuts finely chopped or drizzled chocolate. She would wrap them individually and everyone loved getting one.
Hi my fiend i was so inspired by u nd ur garden nd i started my own backyard garden in containers nd im soooo excited when i went to water my garden i have my 1st butternut bloom we had our first harvest of parsley for a meal i was so proud of myself an unemployed mama of 3 growing our favorites in my backyard nd in south africa cape town candy apples are a favorite we call it toffee apples as I'm afrikaans yr super fan ashlynn in cape town much love n blessing to you nd ur family can't wait to see what u cook next
Hi Becky its been long time can you please make a video on your fruit garden. Because I remember from you previous home garden you yse to harvest tones of apple. Guy like the comment coz it will help Becky, that how many are interested❤
I really enjoy your videos 🎉 my head spins as you very successfully do several tasks at once.❤ Your nails are beautiful. Your kitchen is gorgeous, outfitted with lots of pots& gadgets, tis a kitchen i only dream about. Your garden is awesome ❤ Keep on keeping on❤❤❤
Hey, Becky! That condensed milk slow cooked is considered a shortcut to home made dulce de leche/doce de leite here in Brazil! But we don't mix it with anything else: just cook it further (sometimes the closed can on a pressure cooker, guess we like to play with danger). EDIT: kids do bite into candied apple around here. Adults tend to be wiser.
A fond memory. Back in the mid 1970s, a friend and I (we were around 10) made candied apples for a school fundraiser bake sale. Neither one of us knew what we were doing and didn't ask for help.

What a lovely memory to be able to share with your friend in person after all those years! Would you believe $5 in 1975 is actually worth $23 in today's money!! But people always pay a premium (and more) for homemade goodies at fundraisers. We made a lot for my children's annual school fairs over the years.
What a sweet memory! Made me smile ❤
I wonder why I can't put my own comment. But I was going to ask if she misses her previous home that had apple trees.
What an amazing memory and friend! ❤
One most definitely can bite right into a candied apple!!! Fantastic!❤
Hello, Friend. As a 50ish year old man with no interest in cooking, I am having trouble figuring out why and how this is so entertaining, comforting, and relaxing. You're a good egg, and we need to see more Josh.
It is because Becky makes you feel like a friend sitting in her kitchen or out in the garden with her.
Perhaps this is your time to develop an interest in cooking..... She's got a great channel.
Probably the simplest answer to your question is that everyone has different interests. A lot of people, even women, probably don’t get entertained by watching videos like this… Whereas others love it. I personally love it…not because I feel like she’s a friend talking to me through the screen, but she does the things that I wish I could do, but never have had a chance to. So it’s almost like it’s occurring vicariously through her… If that makes sense at all.

I love the idea of table decorations.
We always threw in some red hots candies in with our candy apple mixture.

They made the perfect one bite and were really cute on the party buffet table. That way you weren't forced to eat a whole apple covered in caramel or hard candy. Everyone loved them .
This is brilliant!
Thank you for sharing that! What a fabulous idea! I'm totally using it!
That is bloody brilliant
I LOVE THIS IDEA!!!
I love this idea. I can’t handle a whole apple
My 16 year old granddaughter works at an apple orchard in the bakery/food area. She dipped lots and lots of apples last weekend! They actually have a 5 person assembly line to keep the task moving along quickly. The apples turn out gorgeous, some are basic dips and others having amazingly creative decorations. She also makes and decorates hundreds of donuts each day. She loves her job!
I just love the fact that you are so considerate of Josh and what he does and doesn’t care for! I think that is awesome! You two are an exemplary example of a wonderful, loving marriage! ❤
Absolutely delish!! When we were dating, 56 years ago, my husband always brought me a caramel apple every night during the fall!❤ We will celebrate 56 years this December.❤❤🙏🙏xxoo

I love the chatter between you and your husband at the end. It makes it seem like we’re all just hanging out in the kitchen together.
Yes, you bite into those candied apples as your walking around the fair grounds. The first bite takes "skeels" LOL so you don't lose a tooth! Good family memories right there! 🥰😃
I have that same memory!!!❤
Friend,
The discussion between you and Josh regarding the nuts and the teeth breaking and all the things was my very favorite part of the video. 😂
Including Josh’s commentary on the hierarchy of the nuts 🥜 lol. So awesome
I came here to comment this 😂 I was giggling the whole time. Especially when she said “maybe I can put walnuts in my brownies” and before she even finished her sentence he said “no!” 😂😂😂
Yes! That was the best part of the video for sure LOL I was laughing louder than I should have been LOL
Me tooo!
I love it when Josh joins you!
I cheat way is to cut up a apple and a milky way and eat together…yum
I'm a veteran Toffee Apple consumer. I eat it straight from the stick. The trick is to peel a small section of the toffee off the apple with your teeth then bite into the apple. Then you can just munch around the apple until you're done. 🍏
I can tell you are a veteran in the apple life.
Top Tip!
Years ago I belonged to a cooking group called Gourmet. We would cook in pairs, had 4 - 5 dinners a year and they all had different themes. Each dinner included a printed menu with all of the recipes and usually also included a favor that the guests could bring home.
One dinner that I co-hosted was a NY theme. We named it The Big Apple. I can’t remember everything we served but our centerpiece was a tray of fancy caramel apples packaged in cellophane bags just like you made. Watching you brought back some fun memories. ❤
My 97 year old Aunt just passed away in September and she used to make these both for 9 of us kids thanks for the memories ❤️😊
Have you ever had stuffed apples.? Using Cereal and peanut butter.?
Fun fact- apples actually produce their own wax, too! So even if you picked it straight from the tree, it would have a thin layer of wax!
Yes, I grow apples and have noticed that. Surprising.
I never knew that! So fascinating.
I didn't know that 😮!! But makes sense, kinda like self preservation kinda thing.
Hi all in this lovely community. Becky, you're such an inspiration, I just wish I was 50 years younger and had a garden. Your island in the kitchen is bigger than my backyard.

We used hot cinnamon candies in our red apples
Us too!
Oh ya! I forgot they tasted like Red Hots!🤦🏻♀️
I was just getting ready to say the same thing!
Red hots make the best candied apples and popcorn balls
My mom had a recipe that called for cinnamon oil...same taste as the candies.
Yes Josh lol! We just bite right into it holding the stick! Guess who's making candy apples for the grandkids this weekend thank to you Becky...that would be me lol
I made caramel apples with my stepson when he was about 7-8 years old. He absolutely loved doing that project with me.
He is now 29 years old. The memories you bring back to me is wonderful.
When I was a kid they sold Carmel sheets in the grocery store for caramel apples. They were caramel sheets with wax paper in between. Popcorn balls were also a fall or Halloween treat.
They are called wrapels by kraft. They still make them.
Becky, if my neighbor came over with homemade candy or caramel apples I would be so thrilled.
In my youth I did bite into candy or caramel apples. It's messy, but fun
Love your videos! 💖 Please, forget the caramel apples and go for APPLE NACHOS. Slice the apples and top with your delicious caramel sauce. Then top with your favorite toppings...peanuts, crushed oreos, crushed bitterfingers, etc. Yum! 💕
as a caramel apple junkie, I LOVE the extra caramel piled up at the bottom lol
One of the best things to do with apples. Yum. Takes me back to being a kid again.
Quick tip!! We pick local apples from the farm and they don't have that wax. Saves me time and sanity. Plus they're super fresh!! 😍
That is a very smart idea!
All apples even organic have a wax substance on them called the bloom it is not added later but it is natural and will repel the Carmel.
You are sooo fortunate to be in an area where apples grow!
@@MsHighpocketsI had to look that up!
I did that they said there was no wax bought good caramel but it still fell off lol
Yes, we always bit into that red candied apple. Yummy!!!!
THANK YOU so much for this video! Now, after 40 years I know why my caramel apples didn’t turn out well. You’re an ANGEL!
I have been watching your channel from the beginning, and oh how I wish I was a friend or family member! You are so talented and gracious with your talent in the kitchen
🫶🏻🫶🏻
Ooh! Boiling a tin of condensed milk is how we make the ‘toffee’ for banoffee pie in Scotland. It’s also part of the recipe to make Tablet - which is delicious! Toffee apples always make me think of Bonfire Night (Guy Fawkes)…. It was always a big treat to get one!
If you can find a mini crock pot, that works well to hold the Caramel temp where you want it. You do have to refill it often, but it is the perfect size for dipping apples (and chocolate covered pretzels).
I love Josh's choice of words. I have never eaten a caramel or candied apple because I, too, like to control how I eat treats like that. "Control" being the operative word! I do, however, like to dip apples in a caramel sauce. I make a caramel apple bar for my kids and their friends with sliced apples, caramel dipping sauce, and various toppings (chopped nuts, mini m&ms, mini chocolate chips, etc).
Cute!
The party favor idea is great. You could add a little name tag on the ribbon for place settings. Super cute idea.
Omg, what wonderful memories growing up my mom made the red candy apples all the time and as an adult I still love red candy apples 🍎
Use a silicone spatula and swirl the bottom of the apple against it instead of turning it upside down or shaking it.
YAY for you, Becky, not using artificial colors in those candy apples; I’m so SUPER proud of you! You have a much larger attentive audience than I do but I’m trying my best to inform people on the dangers of artificial colors. Again….WAY TO GO!
OMG Becky, the look on Josh's face when bit into the candy apple was absolutely PRICELESS
I agree, Costco should bring back the ice cream bar. It was so good! Love your adventurous spirit too, you never disappoint. No to glitter!! It gets everywhere. Your apples looked delicious!
Your finished product is beautiful. Well done Becky.
Super smart way to get the wax off the apples. I didn’t know that! 🍏 I have a bunch of apples to use. What a fun family project!
My mom used to boil a can of sweetened condensed milk for a long time to make a caramel back in the 1960’s. Yummy
❤
You can also do this by putting the can in the oven. 😉
In the UK, you can buy a can of caramel condensed milk. It's great for salted caramel brownies, minimal effort.
It’s called Dulce de leche- so yummy
I always wash my apples in really warm water and a drop of Dawn. Cuts the wax right off. We used Kraft caramels, melted, for dipping. We got candied and caramel apples at out county fair last week.
The back office of the nursing station is heaven for eaters every holiday season … you have to make sure and put some of the treats away from day shift for night shift cause days will eat everything out of house and home ..: ❤Glenda
I can vouch for Day shift eating all the goodies lol 🤪
I'm sitting here watching you, eating a dinner that I had prepared a few wks ago, and froze. Thanks to you, I have enough dinners and breakfasts prepared for myself for, at least a mth. Unfortunately my husbands taste is a lot plainer and he won't eat them, so I cook enough for between 4 to 6 portions and freeze in portions.

Love Carmel apples gala and yellow delicious favorite 😋
These looked great! You definitely should try the traditional CINNAMON candy apple once in your lifetime!
You should put your Carmel pan in a larger flat pan with hot water on the stove, that way your Carmel can be kept hot without over cooking, besure to used a rack in the boiling water pan. A jar ring works well.
Good tip!
Love these tips.
I saw somewhere you can clean your apples in hot water with lemon and add 1 tbsp of apple cider vinegar for heavy wax build up.
Becky, your apples turned out beautiful. I appreciate all of the hard work you put into making these videos, for everyone. Happy Halloween🎃🎃
Just a note, your countertop is very cold and will draw the heat out of your pot quickly. So, doing it on the stove or if putting on the counter, put a pot holder or towel under your pot first. They look amazing!
You’re amazing!! Nothing like a good candy apple. I can just see you making a beautiful table setting with them!
In the UK we call a candy apple, a toffee apple and they’re the most common way we do these coated apples. One of the best things about autumn
Those look delicious. reminds me, when I was young, we would go the fair and get a candy apple you did such an awesome job Becky .❤❤❤❤😊😊😊
I never knew that you need to take the wax off the apples! I always learn something from your videos...keep 'em coming!🍏🍏🍏You are very inspirational!
Hi Becky and Josh, yes you just bite into the candied apple. That one is my husbands most favorite! You also did a great job on the caramel ones with nuts. We grew up eating these as kids. I laughed out loud when Josh said "no no" to the walnuts in your brownies...too funny! TFS. God bless
I chuckles when I heard him say"no,no" then I thought, hey, maybe peanuts, since in his hierarchy of nuts, peanuts is at the top!😂
Since Josh often does taste testing with you it was good seeing him in the video because we were able to see his facial expressions along with his opinions, your candied apples looked great!😊
I agree! I loved seeing him and it should be a regular so we can see his facial expressions 😊
Yummy, you did awesome. If you get some heavy duty styrofoam cover with parchment paper and pre made holes, to put the stick in once you dip them the Carmel won’t pool on them., just leave them off the paper the extra will run off.That’s how I do mine.❤
Hey Becky!
Yum yum! 😋 😋
My favorite, were making some this weekend with the grandbabies with lots of different toppings 😊😊.
Thanks for the tip on the wax.
i love watching you and Josh!!!!!!! what a love!!
My grandma used to pressure cook the sweetened condensed milk can to make dulce de leche
I loved this Becky. Candy apples have always been my favorite snack to get at the fair and when I was 7 I lost my first front tooth after biting into a candy apple lol. I took a bite and when I pulled the apple back my tooth was still in the apple!
2/3 cup brown sugar,1/3 cup powered sugar and 1 eight ounce package cream cheese. Mix and tastes like carmal dip
I love walnuts in my brownies too! 😂 The apples looked delicious!
I have a childhood memory of getting a cinnamon candy apple at the circus. Still remember it.
My grandma used to make candy apples with red hot candies , it was sooo good the cinnamon and spice from the candy and the sweetness of the apples ...she used to make them for the holidays when we were little, Okay so hear me out the red candy apples on the table with white christmas lights would look amazing!
God bless everything you touch with your hands
Totally LOVED Becky tapping the candy apple against her front teeth! .. .. .. .. Smiles, Grins, Giggles and Laughs
……and Josh’s expressive caramel AND chocolate!
Yumm ❤ looks like fun and yes totally would be great for dinner parties.
The decor on the candy apples is so Beautiful 😊
lol when my boyfriend says ‘very interesting’ about food I made, it means he is being polite but does not like it 😂 I have never been a fan of candied apples myself but they look so pretty 😘
Hello friend. I love your videos. You encourage us all thank you.
Love that thermometer
I love this...the way you show & tell what your doing.... its great. I'm surprised you've never had a candy apple before.
I will be watching this from now on.
Thank You!🙏🤠
Yum! I love both kinds and have the dental work to prove it 😂
😂😂😂😂❤
I had to start cutting them into pieces because I can't bite thru them any more! Ouch
I think, as a child, I was strange because I've always hated the way it felt in my mouth to bite into a whole caramel apple. 😅 Slice them suckers up and I'm all over em!
Great multi-tasking skills. We took Carmel and candied apples to family gatherings, and everyone went crazy for them. Especially the older people. 😊 A big hit. Thanks for the Carmel recipe.
I remember when I was a little girl, Kraft, would have individual caramel squares that you would melt,then dip your apple in that. Mom would make them around Halloween. In fact, when I went trick or treating, sometimes we were given caramel apples instead of candy.
I also remember Kraft sold caramel sheets, that you would wrap around the apple.
Hi Becky, in the UK we call these toffee apples and most definitely hold the stick and bite into them 😁 delicious 💖
In Australia as well. Xx
We always used to have toffee (candy) apples on Bonfire Night whilst watching the fireworks - the sight & sound instantly takes me back to my 80s childhood!
You can put sweetened condensed milk in the instant pot for 45 minutes to make dolce de Leche also. You just fill the instant pot up with water that comes halfway up the can of sweetened condensed milk. Also make sure you place your can on a trivet so that it’s not at the bottom of the instant pot
So fun! We do chocolate covered apples with dairy free chocolate. My little guy can't have dairy or red dye due to allergies but they look so good and LOVE that the dye free Watkins worked well. We use them for things that we don't cook with such good results!
Ah, I'm watching u make these apples that look so tasty. I ate the red candied apples as a little girl when my mom and I would shop downtown. They were sold from a mobile cart. Now, many many years later, my all time favorite is the caramel -dark chocolate-chopped peanut one. Thanks for the memories. Blessings to u!
If your using a wide ribbon again as a bow, instead just tie the ribbon in a knot and trim both ribbon ends with the center noth or at a angle ti one side. Have one ribbon end facing uo and the other downward. Its a simple but classic look. Yiur apples look great honey.🍎
14:01 love that smile lol Thanks for the tip on watering the side of the pot so it doesn't crystallize. Had that problem with my caramel popcorn.
Becky I’ve been making caramel apples for years and I still have the caramel pool under the apples, don’t think you can avoid that. 🥴 we love making caramel apples dipped in white chocolate and then rolled in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar. We call it “apple pie caramel apples” it is so good!
Hi Becky! I loved that you did caramel apples. I was screaming at my screen for you to make popcorn for the extra caramel…popcorn balls go great with the apples. Maybe next year. I am looking forward to your holiday cooking! Thanks for having us in your kitchen❣
Agree with Josh... No walnuts in brownies
I totally agree! Though, brownies with pecans sounds pretty good... 👍
Agree!...no walnuts, just use pecans!! 😂
These are sure to be a crowd pleaser.
You can insert the skewer into the apple with a meat tenderizer hammer thingy. Also, I use my instant pot as a double boiler to keep the caramel from setting up too quickly.
The 'candy' apple is known as a 'toffee' apple here in Australia. Red is the most popular colour but I have seen them coloured green but not often. Woolworths (supermarkets) used to sell the red toffee apples, but now they seem to be seen only at the annual Shows/Fairs.
As a child I absolutely loved candied apples. Some of my friends loved the Carmel ones. We usually got them at amusement parks. I’ve made them as well. But that ended when I lost a tooth filling enjoying my candy apple!🍏 As for your extra Carmel using a double boiler will make the Carmel go back to state you once had it. Great job! Enjoy and have one for me!! ❤
The black ribbon looks stunning!!!!! ❤❤❤
Becky, I saw a tip on another channel where they were making caramel. To help prevent the sides of the pan from getting sugar crystals on them, or having to use a wet pasty brush to wipe it down, use a lid on top of the pan, preferably a clear glass one so you can monitor the caramel while its cooking. The steam it creates keeps the crystals from forming on the side of the pan. I tried it and it really works.
My Mom made Carmel Apples and Candy Apples every year for us. She would always melt red hots in the Candy Apples. They already had the red dye in them and they added a cinnamon touch to the Candy Apples. They were delicious.
The red hots are a wonderful addition to the apples I thought everyone made them with a cinnamon flavor
You guys are so cute together. We don’t get to see Josh enough. He’s a lucky guy in that you keep his belly full and happy. Lol. The apples all look sooo delicious. I’d love to try this….
BECKY THE MACCCCHHHHIIINNNNEEEE coming out with ANOTHER video. How does she do it so fast?!?!
Editing
My grandmother used to make the red cinnamon apples as well as caramel apples. She made some fancy rolled/dipped in coconut or nuts finely chopped or drizzled chocolate. She would wrap them individually and everyone loved getting one.
If you put them in microwave for 10 to 15 seconds it takes wax off ,great video as usual ❤

I really enjoy your videos 🎉 my head spins as you very successfully do several tasks at once.❤ Your nails are beautiful. Your kitchen is gorgeous, outfitted with lots of pots& gadgets, tis a kitchen i only dream about. Your garden is awesome ❤ Keep on keeping on❤❤❤
Hey, Becky! That condensed milk slow cooked is considered a shortcut to home made dulce de leche/doce de leite here in Brazil! But we don't mix it with anything else: just cook it further (sometimes the closed can on a pressure cooker, guess we like to play with danger).
EDIT: kids do bite into candied apple around here. Adults tend to be wiser.
