How To Make DIY Candied Apple Macarons

Nothing says fall like DIY Candied Apple Macarons, am I right?! Okay, so it’s not exactly typical, but I couldn’t resist putting a spin on these macs!

Besides the PSL (pumpkin spiced latte) craze, you know fall has really arrived once people start busting out the candied apples.

I’ve never really understood this fall/candied apple phenomenon myself. But hey! I can get down with just about anything dipped in caramel any time of the year, so I don’t question it.

I did, however, take it upon myself to make DIY Candied Apple Macarons for those that prefer not to have the mess of regular caramel apples but still like to blend in when fall rolls around.

I know what you’re all thinking right now, “Sure, go ahead and pretend to take one for the team when really you just wanted to make something else out of macarons.”

In that instance, you’d be correct. But I am at least sharing my DIY fail portion of this with you, too…

How to Make DIY Candied Apple Macarons

Step 1To give the “apples” a little more dimension, I used the green food marker on them first to shade around the edges. And I blended in the colors in with my finger.

Step 2Next, I melted white chips with a splash of brown melting chips to make a soft caramel color.

Step 3Then dip each macaron and then give each one a splash of sprinkles.

Step 4I set them upright to let the chocolate bottoms dry flat on wax paper.

Originally I had planned to make “twig” sticks for each apple.

But it was nearly as cute as I thought it would be, even after aimlessly searching the internet for this twig mold and making the sticks a few weeks ago.

Alas, I skipped the fondant brown twig sticks and went with white lollipop sticks instead. The DIY struggle is real!
