The candy apple is credited to William Kolb in 1908, while caramel apples are explained through sugar caramelizing with butter and cream. The passage connects the seasonal availability of apples to Halloween timing and provides classroom guidance for safety, assigning adults to handle heat over 200 degrees.

On the counter sits a row of apples on sticks, some coated in shiny red candy that crackles when you bite it, others hidden under a thick, golden blanket of caramel. You grab one, and it sticks a little to your fingers. Which will you choose, the crunchy candy apple or the chewy caramel apple?  \nThat crunchy red shell has a longer history than the soft caramel one. Candy  \napples were invented in 1908 by a New Jersey candy maker named William Kolb, who dipped apples in red cinnamon candy to show off in his shop window. People loved the way the hard sugar shell shattered like glass, and soon the treats were selling at fairs and along the boardwalk. The bright red coating is really just sugar that has been heated until it melts and turns hard again as it cools.  \nCaramel apples came later, and they start with that same simple ingredient: sugar. When you heat sugar slowly in a pan, it melts, turns golden brown, and gives off a rich, nutty smell in a process cooks call caramelizing. Add butter and cream, and the melted sugar becomes soft, sticky caramel instead of a hard shell. Story has it that a candy worker in the 1950s had leftover caramels after Halloween, so he melted them down and dipped apples to use them up.  \nThe reason these treats show up every autumn is all about timing. Apples are harvested in the fall, so orchards are bursting with fresh, firm fruit right when Halloween arrives. A tart, crunchy appleworks best, because its sourness balances the heavy sweetness of the coating. That is why you spot barrels of apples at farm stands in September and October, just waiting to be dipped.  \nMaking them in a classroom is easier than you might think, as long as a grown-up handles the hot part. Melted sugar and caramel can reach well over 200 degrees, hot enough to burn skin badly, so an adult does the heating and dipping. Kids can wash the apples, push in the sticks, and roll the finished apples in nuts or sprinkles. Here is the surprising part: that shiny candy apple in your hand is basically a piece of fruit wearing a jacket made of pure, hardened sugar!  \nCaramel Apples  \nName:  \n\n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>Use the article to answer the question.\u003Cbr>1) Who is credited with inventing the candy apple in 1908?\u003Cbr>A.
