Welcome to Apple Trees, this site is fanatical about anything to do with apples and apple trees. Our fanaticism started when we planted our dwarf apple tree in our small back garden. Gradually, this became an obsession and to cut a long story short, we bought some land and started our own orchard.

To say our apple trees are our passion would be an understatement. We will be gradually adding lots of photos and apple trees articles, including growing apple tree guides, guide on dwarf apples trees, apple recipes, apple tree growing and much more!

You will be able to buy apple trees here also! Apple trees for sale around the UK will be listed, as will review guides and how to buy apple trees.

   RED CANDY APPLES
   Source: The Kitchen Collection: Holiday Candies
   Yield: 10 servings
   2 cups Sugar
   3/4 can Water
   1/2 cup Molasses, mild
   1 tablespoon Vinegar
   1/2 teaspoon Red food coloring
   10 Apples
   Combine all ingredients except food coloring and apples and cook until mixture spins a thread or until candy stays on apple. (Mixture will be thick.) Add food coloring. Put a stick into apple and dip into mixture.
   Place on a well greased cookie sheet, and allow to dry. Store in covered container, or wrap with parchment paper or greased wrap.
   NOTES: I suggest using Gala, Paula Red, or any other super firm baking apples. This recipe produces the closest I’ve seen to “State Fair” candy apples – those without cinnamon flavoring.

   For a softer candy shell, cook mixture without stirring to soft crack stage, 290° F on candy thermometer or until syrup dropped in very cold water separates into threads that are hard but not brittle. Cool 2 minutes before dipping the
   apples into mixture to coat surface
   CANDIED APPLES
   2 cups granulated sugar
   2 cups corn syrup
   1/3 cup cinnamon candy
   1 cup water
   3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
   1/2 teaspoon vanilla
   1/4 teaspoon cloves (ground)
   3/4 teaspooon red food coloring
   6 apples
   Remove stems from apples, wash, and pat dry. Insert a wooden skewer (popsicle stick) in each apple, running through the apple from stem end to base without protruding all the way through the bottom end. Combine sugar, corn syrup, cinnamon candies, and water in medium-sized saucepan. Cook until candies dissolve, stirring constantly. Be careful not to boil. Add cinnamon, vanilla, cloves, and food coloring. Mix thoroughly. Boil mixture to 300° F. using a candy thermometer without stirring. While mixture is boiling, generously prepare a baking sheet with cooking spray so it’s ready ahead of time. As soon as mixture reaches 300° F., remove it from heat and quickly dip each apple-one by one-into the mixture until it is thoroughly coated. Set coated apples, standing on their bottoms with skewer pointing up, on baking sheet until mixture hardens. Let apples reach room temperature before eating.
   Candied Apples
   Kids love these apples with a soft, chewy caramel coating.
   6 medium-size apples
   1 cup granulated sugar
   1/2 cup white corn syrup
   1 (15 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
   1/8 teaspoon salt
   1 teaspoon vanilla extract
   Insert wooden skewer in stem end of washed and thoroughly dried apples. Combine sugar, corn syrup, milk and salt in a heavy, medium-size saucepan. Stir well until sugar is completely blended. Cook slowly, stirring constantly to soft-ball stage (230 degrees F).
   Remove from heat; stir in vanilla extract; cool slightly.
   Working quickly, dip apples in caramel, twirling until well coated. The dipping is easier if mixture is kept out of drafts, so that the caramel will not harden before you have finished. Place apples, stem side up, on buttered plate to harden.
