These are the kind you found at the circus or carnival! Not the newer version covered with cramel. A candy thermometer is needed for this, as well as popsicle sticks. The number of apples needed depends on the size of the apples, probably 4 medium ones. The recipe states that each batch candies approximately 1 dozen medium apples. I'm not sure I trust that. Cook time depends on your altitude where you live, heat of your burner, and pot used.
You may want to read the NOTES in Step 6 before making them.

6NOTES:
You may want to use a deep, narrow pan, and tilt it to cover the apples well.
You should not make the coating too thick as it will be hard to bite through to the apple.
A reviewer suggested that you could also make the coating orange, and reserve some to tint black. The drizzle the black over the up-turned apples!
The same reviewer said she covered 12 medium apple. - Last Step: Don't forget to share! Make all your friends drool by posting a picture of your finished recipe on your favorite social network. And don't forget to tag Just A Pinch and include #justapinchrecipes so we can see it too!
