candy apples
Sticky fair treats
Candy apples are apples coated in a hard shell of red sugar syrup, served on a stick.
A staple of fairs, carnivals, and Halloween, they're more decorative than practical—the glossy coating cracks unpredictably and sticks to teeth.
Caramel apples, coated in softer caramel rather than hard candy, are the more popular cousin: We got candy apples at the state fair.
