Caramel apples on a stick
Caramel apples
A recipe with photos for delicious caramel apples that are super easy to make at home in just 20 minutes.
Ingredients
- 2 pcs small red apples
- 250 G Sahara
- 30 ml water
- 2 G red food coloring
- 1 tbsp colored sprinkles
Instructions
- First, wash the apples thoroughly, as the caramel won't adhere to wax-coated fruit. You can do this with a special cleaner, baking soda, and a brush. Next, remove the stems from both sides and refrigerate the apples.
- Dissolve the dye in the prepared water and stir.
- Take a convenient saucepan (it should not be too wide and preferably tall) and transfer sugar and water mixed with dye into it.
- Place the pan on the stove and stir the mixture with a wooden spatula. Once all the sugar has melted, reduce the heat and stop stirring. Bring the mixture to a boil, then remove from the heat after a couple of minutes and let it cool. Don't overcook the caramel apple syrup after it's cooled, or it will harden and the mixture won't work.
- While the syrup is cooling, insert wooden skewers into the apples. Try to insert them halfway, making sure they fit snugly.
- Tilt the pan slightly and dip the apples into the mixture. Swirl the apples around until they're coated with caramel on all sides.
- Sprinkle the caramel-covered apples with colored sprinkles and place them on a plate greased with vegetable oil.
Note
This is a wonderful dessert that's perfect for a holiday table, especially for children. If desired, you can use chopped nuts, chocolate, wafer crumbs, or coconut instead of the colored sprinkles. Either way, these caramel apples will look colorful and delicious.
