How do you keep caramel from falling off apples?

Apples have wax on the outside that can cause the caramel to slide right off.

A few tips:

  • Dip apples in water and swirl to melt and remove any wax. Wipe with towel to dry and remove any remaining wax. This step will help to make sure the caramel does not slide off the apples.
  • You can also put the apples in the fridge right after dipping in caramel. This will help the caramel to set.

What apples are best for caramel apples?

Tart apples combine perfectly with caramel for the perfect balance of sweet and tart. Granny Smith and Honeycrisp are a few favorites.

Should apples be cold when making caramel apples?

Yes! The caramel will stick better to the apples if they are cold. I like to put them in the fridge the day before I plan to use them.
