Cook techniques
Caramelization
Caramelization is the process of heating sugar until it melts and turns golden brown, which adds depth of flavor to your dessert.
Coating
Coating involves covering the apples with a layer of caramel, ensuring an even distribution for a shiny finish and rich taste.
Cooling
Cooling is essential after coating the apples in caramel to allow the coating to set properly without becoming sticky.
Pole Insertion
Pole insertion helps to provide a handle for easier dipping and eating, as well as stability while the caramel sets.
