So last night, while the boys were busy watching the BYU game, I thought us girls could whip up some carameled apples. So easy, right? Nope. I couldn't get the darn caramel to stick to the apples. Later on, after I had given up, it came to me. I think Laurel taught that the trick was to put the apples and pears in boiling water for 20 seconds or something to boil the wax off. Oh well, they still tasted good and we had a fun time trying to do it.
So yummy dipped in caramel, white chocolate, and sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar.

yup, that is the BIG secret - dip the fruit in the boiling water for about 10 seconds, and the caramel will stick. (it's either that, or scrub them really well - which never worked for me, I guess I don't scrub hard enough?)
I will post my instructions on my new blog ASAP. maybe with pictures, too.
My mouth is watering just looking at them. Do you make house calls?
Just make sure you don't boil them too long. I made some gorgeous caramel apples a month or so ago - but when we bit into them, the fruit was all mooshy and cooked!
I guess you learn something new every time. :)
Thanks for the good advice! Despite the sliding wax, your apples look divine and now I want to try. You are so talented!
