Welcome to Apple Trees, this site is fanatical about anything to do with apples and apple trees. Our fanaticism started when we planted our dwarf apple tree in our small back garden. Gradually, this became an obsession and to cut a long story short, we bought some land and started our own orchard.

To say our apple trees are our passion would be an understatement. We will be gradually adding lots of photos and apple trees articles, including growing apple tree guides, guide on dwarf apples trees, apple recipes, apple tree growing and much more!

You will be able to buy apple trees here also! Apple trees for sale around the UK will be listed, as will review guides and how to buy apple trees.

   I’m sure it will. I’d give it a test try before you go through preparing all of them, first though.
   Make sure you coat your cut apple slices in diluted lemon juice and let it dry, before coating them in caramel. The lemon juice is acidic which helps prevent the oxidation of air with the apple. The oxidation is what causes that brown color and grainy/mushy texture, if you can prevent that then you should be good to go!
   I’ve never really thought about cutting up apples for caramel apples, it’s really a very good idea! Good luck! I hope they end up being awesomely delicious!

   I think that if you slice your apples, the caramel may not stick to the slices since they are wet. Also, they may start to brown unless you put lemon juice on them, which would take you back to the same wet apple slice problem.
   I think it works best to dip your whole apples first in some boiling water, and then wipe off the wax they are treated with before dipping in caramel.
   An even better idea is to buy those pre-sliced apples they sell in the produce section (they come in a bag) since they don’t turn brown, and make a nice caramel dip for them. Lay them out on a platter with the dip in the center.

   cut & core the apples then immediately drop them into some cold water with lemon in it – that will keep the apples from turning brown. bon appetite
