candied apples

Glazed orchard treats

Candied apples are whole apples on sticks coated in a hard shell of cooked sugar syrup, typically dyed bright red.

A fixture at fairs, carnivals, and Halloween celebrations: The kids begged for candied apples at the county fair.

Also called candy apples.

Distinct from caramel apples, which have a soft caramel coating instead of the hard candy shell.
