   Pierce apples with chopsticks

2. For the caramel, add sugar, corn syrup and water to a saucepan.

   Combine water, corn syrup and sugar in a saucepan

3. Add red food coloring immediately. Put the saucepan on the fire.

   

For cooking, choose sweet and sour, medium-sized juicy apples - the ingredients are designed for 8-10 pcs. Apples need to be washed well; store fruits are often covered with a wax composition or something similar for transportation.

If this substance remains on the peel, the caramel will roll and harden unevenly.

Sticks can be BBQ or ice cream sticks. They need to be wood and sturdy to support the weight of the apple. We press the stick into the apple at the place of growth of the tail, deeply, approximately to the middle of the fruit.

After the apples are prepared, place them in the refrigerator. On cold fruits, the glaze lays down better.

We take the apples out of the refrigerator and put them in the syrup, turn them around their axis. If you want a thicker layer of caramel, turn it several times. If you can't dip the whole apple into the syrup, lift one end of the pan.

Let the excess caramel drain and place the apple on a plate. You can put apples in a glass instead. Then the droplets of flowing caramel will solidify near the stick, and not on the top of the fruit.

Optionally, after the glaze, you can dip the apple into the coconut flakes, confectionery dressing or chocolate chips.
