FAQ
How do you get caramel to stick to apples?
You should soak your apples for a few minutes in hot tap water with a little bit of vinegar added to help the caramel adhere to them. Then scrub off any wax with a kitchen towel. Once ready, tilt pan to pool caramel. Each apple should be evenly coated using a twirling motion; let any extra caramel drip off.
Should apples be cold before dipping in caramel?
You don’t want to lose any of that yummy caramel! Tip #4 – Cool the dipped apples in the fridge If you place the parchment paper on a pan before beginning, then you can easily slip the apples in the fridge once they’ve been dipped. This will aid in setting the caramel and stop it from slipping off.
What apples are best for caramel?
The best apples for caramel apples include Granny Smith, Fuji, and Honeycrisp, but you can use any apple variety you like. Because Granny Smith apples are tart, which goes well with sweet, buttery caramel, they are a popular choice for caramel apples.
Can you use Gala apples for caramel apples?
Any apple that your family enjoys; for this recipe, I used gala, which is sweet but might be too juicy; granny smith is very tart but makes a great caramel apple; and golden delicious Just make sure your apples are fresh and free from bruising. Organic is preferred, and typically organic products don’t have wax on them.
