    How to make apples in caramel? Prepare the products according to the list. Apples are better to take a small size, so it will be more convenient to eat them and dip them in caramel. Take any color of the dye, you can cook caramel of different colors if you make a large portion of apples at once.

    Wash the apples very well. Now they are sold with a waxy coating on top, caramel will not stick on it. Wash the apples with soda, hot water. You can rub them with a brush.

    We need to wait for the moment when the bubbles leave the surface. But do not cool the caramel too much, otherwise it will start to harden. You can pierce small bubbles with a fork.

    While the caramel boils and then calms down, take the apples out of the refrigerator and stick the sticks in them. It should be inserted deep enough so that the stick reaches beyond the middle of the fetus and sits tightly.

    When all the apples are ready, you can leave them to dry upside down. I stuck them into the pumpkin with chopsticks. After drying, the caramel will become hard and you can turn them over. Bon appetit!

I got apples from the second time. Caramel didn't want to lie down on them and kept moving out. If you have similar problems, then cook the caramel longer and / or take less water, then everything will work out.
It is better to decorate apples with sprinkles already in an inverted state, so it will be more accurate.
As a decoration, you can take nuts, chocolate, coconut chips, chopped waffles.

For cooking, it is better to use filtered or bottled water that is neutral to taste. If you use tap water, keep in mind that it can give the dish an unpleasant characteristic taste.
