Prepare a large bowl of water with a pinch of salt mixed into it.

Peel each {@0:}, then use a melon ball scooper to scoop ball shapes from each apple. Toss the apple balls into the bowl of water to prevent browning while you scoop the rest. When finished, pat dry with paper towels and set on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Stick a lollipop stick into each, then set in the freezer for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, add the {@1:}, {@3:}, {@0:}, and juice from {@2:} to a medium sauce pan over medium heat,stirring once to combine. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and continue cooking until a candy thermometer reads 300 to 310 degrees F, then remove from heat. This is the “hard crack” stage. Test that it has reached this stage by dropping a bit of the molten candy into a cup of cold water. It should become brittle and hard.
