How do you pack candy apples?
Put your apples in bags. Wrap each of them individually in cellophane bags. I set each apple in a muffin top paper cup before putting it in the bag–that makes it easier to get them in and out of the bag without sticking. You can also cut wax paper circles and set the apples on those inside the bag.
How do you store homemade candy apples?
Candied apples can be stored in an airtight container for up to three days. Make sure to store them in a cool, dry place. Humidity and heat will cause the candy coating to grow sticky. Candied apples are the perfect fall treat.
Can you wrap candy apples in parchment paper?
Cool your dipped apples on a sheet of Reynolds®Parchment Paper. They won’t stick and cleanup is easy as pie. And to share your treats, wrap individual apples in squares of parchment paper and tie with a bow.
Can you use wax paper for candy apples?
We prefer to use parchment paper instead of wax paper. If you only have wax paper, smear a little bit of butter on the wax paper where you will set the apples. Allow the apples to cool completely (about 2 hours) before removing and they shouldn’t stick.
What kind of bag do you use for candy apples?
The best size I’ve found is the 4″ x 9″ x 2″ cellophane bags. The 2″ measurement is important – otherwise the bag will be flat and not be able to expand for the apple. When I use the bags, I usually close them with twist ties, but you could also do ribbon or twine!
Can I mail candy apples?
Shipping candy apples depends on the ingredients. Wrap each apple individually in a cellophane bag. Place a frozen gel pack or dry ice pack under the apples if there are perishable toppings or if you’re shipping during the summer. While apples can be shipped at room temperature, delivery trucks can get very hot.
How long do you let candy apples sit before bagging them?
Ensure the coating is firm before packing the apples for travel. Place apples in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before travel. This will make the coating as firm as possible and avoid damage to the apples during transportation.
Why didn’t my candy apples Harden?
If your candy apples are not getting to the crackling stage it is because you are not getting your candy mixture hot enough. I assume you are using a mixture of sugar, corn syrup, and water. The temperature needs to reach between 300 and 310 degrees F. to actually get to the hard crack stage.
How do you make candy not sticky?
What is this? To stop hard candy from sticking together, coat the candy in a thin layer of cornstarch. The cornstarch will absorb any excess moisture from the air, protecting the candy. Next, put the candy in an airtight glass container.
How do you store candy apples overnight?
Position the candy apple stick-side upward on the wax paper. Bring the four corners of the wax paper together and them around the stick tightly. Wrap the apple with a couple layers of plastic wrap. Store the apples in the refrigerator up to two weeks.
How do you store homemade candy?
Stored in an airtight container in a cool dry place, most homemade candy will keep for about 2 to 3 weeks. Fudge and caramels can be wrapped tightly and frozen for up to 1 year. To prevent candies from exchanging flavors, always store different types of candy in separate containers, using waxed paper between layers.
Can you reheat candy apple mix?
The candy should stick no problem! 2) If the candy mixture gets too thick during the dipping process, simply reheat it over medium heat and continue coating your apples.
Can you freeze a candy apple?
Once you’ve pierced the apple with the craft stick you’ve started the process of the apple rapidly spoiling when left outside. Store: If you keep the Caramel Apples in an airtight container in a refrigerator, Caramel Apples will stay good for up to a week. Freeze: I do not recommend freezing Caramel Apples.
