Candy apple  or Ringoame

Candy apples, also known as toffee or jelly     apples (about 5 cm in diameter) are whole apples covered in a hard sugar syrup coated with hot red thick syrup gravy, usually tinted red and sometimes flavoured with cinnamon. The sugar syrup is heated to the “hard crack” stage before coating the apple to make a hard coating when the syrup cools. Other variations include caramel or toffee apples, and chocolate apples.
