5 step-by-step recipes for caramelized apples

General principles for caramelizing apples

Caramelization is a simple and delicious process of turning granulated sugar into caramel. This happens when the product is heated. You can cover different fruits with sugar caramel, turning them into an original independent dessert or part of a more complex composite delicacy. So, it’s very easy to caramelize apples. The heating temperature should be above 100 degrees.

To ensure that the caramel does not end up being too hard, additional components are added to it. For example, most often - butter. Different spices will make the result more tasty. Pairs perfectly with apples and cinnamon caramel. But other options are also allowed.

There are several general principles for caramelizing apples:

• Fruits of different varieties are well suited for the process - soft ones should be taken if the dessert is planned to be presented on a stick, and fruits with dense pulp are ideal for processing into pieces;
• caramel can only be cooked in a container with a thick bottom (this can be either a saucepan/pan or a frying pan);
• in the process of preparing caramel, you need to frequently stir or shake the contents until the sweet crystals are completely dissolved - as a result, the mass will acquire an appetizing characteristic color;
• Caramel can be colored with food coloring if desired, but then you will need to arm yourself with a culinary thermometer (the mixture should warm up well - approximately 130 degrees).

How to make caramel apples on a stick?

Beautiful caramel apples are ready in just half an hour. Just what you need for the New Year's mood!

Before cooking, apples must be doused with boiling water, you can even hold them in it for just a couple of seconds. This is to melt and wash off the wax that covers most commercial apples. Theoretically, this wax can be eaten, but the caramel does not lie on top of it, it rolls off it in drops. So wash your apples properly!

The second element of the mandatory program is to wipe the apples. They must be completely dry. Water and caramel are not friends; moisture can prevent the caramel from lying flat.

The next step is to melt the butter in a saucepan, add sugar and water. Stirring, cook until the sugar is completely dissolved. It should turn golden brown.

How to check if the caramel is ready? Drop some caramel onto a plate; if it hardens quickly, it’s ready.

The mechanism for coating an apple with caramel is as follows: holding it by the stick, dip it headlong into the hot mixture. It's better to do this with gloves. Caramel is a hot thing, it boils at a temperature of 140 C, a small drop can burn very unpleasantly. Dip the apples one at a time, keeping each one in the caramel for a few seconds. Once removed, place on a greased plate, parchment paper or foil.

Often, after you dip an apple in caramel, in some areas it does not lie smoothly, so after that you can give the caramel a few seconds to set, and then carefully add the caramel with a spoon to those places where the layer is not dense enough.

Some people, when working with apples, keep the caramel directly on the stove over low heat. Indeed, it is convenient in the sense that you do not have to rush because the caramel is cooling. However, due to the high temperature of the caramel, this is very dangerous. We always pour the caramel into a bowl. Let it harden ahead of time and you will not have time to cover all the apples, but you will get by without burns.

The thin layer of caramel on the apple hardens within a minute. While the caramel is sticky, you can, if you wish, sprinkle the top of the apple with confectionery sprinkles. The caramel hardens into a hard layer. You can eat apples by cutting them into slices with a knife, or you can treat the apple like you would treat a candy, that is, lick it.

Apples keep well for about a week.

Do not put them in the refrigerator under any circumstances! In refrigerators there is always high humidity in the air and this causes the caramel to start leaking! Store your apples in a cool, dry place and enjoy this beautiful winter treat!
