Histori
According to one source, William W. Kolb of America found red apple candy.
Kolb, a vintage candy maker Newark, produced his first batch of candied batches in 1908. While experimenting in a candy bar with red cinnamon for Christmas trade, he dipped some apples into the mixture and put them in a window for display. He sold all the first batches for 5 cents each and then sold thousands per year. Soon candied apples are sold along the Jersey Shore, at the circus and in candy stores across the country, according to Newark News in 1948.

The urban myth
During the 1960s and 1970s, news reports about children suspected of receiving candy apples with pins and razors in them, raising concerns during Halloween in the United States. The hospital offers free x-rays to detect foreign objects in candy apples. Until now, these stories have never been proven and fall into the category of urban legend.
