Wrapping candy apples helps preserve them and makes them easy to handle or package. Based on the provided reference, here's a simple method for wrapping:
Simple Steps for Wrapping Candy Apples
The process involves covering the apple and securing the wrapping material.
- Cover One Side: Take your chosen wrapping material (such as cellophane or plastic wrap) and carefully bring it up and around one side of the candy apple, covering the coated surface.
- Cover the Other Side: Repeat the process on the opposite side, bringing the material up and around to meet the wrap from the first side. This creates a "nice little wrap" around the apple, fully enclosing the candy coating.
- Secure with String: Once the apple is fully covered, use a piece of string to secure the wrapping material tightly around the stick, just above the apple.
- Tie Tightly: Tie the string as tight as possible around the gathered wrapping material to ensure it stays in place and protects the apple.
- Wrap Multiple Times: Before finalizing the knot, wrap the string around the secured material and stick about 3 or 4 times around to reinforce the tie and prevent the wrap from loosening.
This method creates a snug wrap that protects the candy coating while keeping the apple secure on its stick.
