Description

Bright green apple flavored lollipops, dipped in gooey caramel. These taste just like the caramel apples you might find at a county fair, but last a whole lot longer!


Ingredients

Scale

210 grams granulated sugar (1 cup)
190 grams light corn syrup (1/2 cup)
60 milliliters water (1/4 cup)
1/21 teaspoon green apple flavoring
Green gel food coloring

1 cup Kraft caramels, unwrapped
Nonstick cooking spray, for greasing the lollipop mold


Instructions

Prepare lollipop mold by spritzing lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Add lollipop sticks. Set mold aside.

Combine granulated sugar, corn syrup, and water in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir until sugar has dissolved.

Using a digital thermometer, boil mixture until it reaches 300° F / 150° C.

Remove from heat. Stir in apple flavoring and green gel food coloring.

Spoon (or carefully pour) hot sugar mixture into lollipop molds. Lollipops will set and harden as they cool. (This will happen quickly, about fifteen minutes).

When lollipops have set, pop them from the mold onto a sheet of parchment or a silicone baking mat.

Place unwrapped caramels in a small, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave caramels, stirring every 15-20 seconds, until completely melted.

One by one, dip lollipops into melted caramel, coating the top portion of the lollipop only. Return coated lollipops to silicone mat and allow to cool until caramel has set.

Individually wrap lollipops in cello bags. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one month.

 

Notes

You’ll need a silicone lollipop mold and a digital thermometer for this recipe.

If you cannot find Kraft caramels, you can use another chewy caramel candy. You can also make your own caramel, or simply make green apple lollipops without the caramel dip.
