Although fun to make and eat, I thought the taste of this was just okay. The green Granny Smith's were lovely in terms of color, but much too tart for my taste. I'd make with a red or pink variety apple next time around.
Jackson Pollock Candied Apples
Randy Mayor; Lydia DeGaris-Pursell
Named for the abstract expressionist's signature paint-splattered canvases, these apples make great Halloween treats. Green Granny Smiths go well with the sweet white and bittersweet chocolates, but use any apple you like. Look for wooden sticks at craft supply stores, or use forks instead.
