find the best orchard near you<\/a>). Besides being a fun fall activity, apples picked from an orchard often lack the waxy coating you see on most apples in grocery stores.<\/p>\nHow do I make the caramel stick to the apple?<\/h3>\n A few tricks can help the caramel set quickly on the apple. First, use cold apples. The coolness of the apple helps set the caramel quickly and smoothly compared to apples stored at room temperature. Next, make sure the apples are super dry after you wash them. Excess water on the skin can cause the caramel to bubble and stick poorly to the apple.<\/p>\n
Why aren\u2019t my toppings sticking to my caramel apples?<\/h3>\n If you\u2019re having a difficult time getting the toppings to stick to your caramel apples, it\u2019s likely because the caramel set too quickly. No worries, you can soften the caramel again. Hold a coated apple over a small saucepan filled with boiling water (be careful!). The hot steam will envelop the apple and soften just the outermost layer of caramel so toppings will adhere with ease.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
