Candied apples in cooking

To prepare such a delicacy at home, you will need the apples themselves. Here you should give preference to sweet and sour varieties with dense pulp. They can be large (they should be cut into halves, slices) and small. Small fruits must be pierced with a toothpick in several places. The rind can be left on or peeled off if desired.

Then the apple blanks are poured with boiling water for a few minutes, which is drained and sugar syrup is prepared on its basis. One kilogram of apples requires two glasses of water and 1.2 kilograms of sugar. Apples are poured with hot syrup and infused in it for up to 6 hours (calorizer). They are brought to a boil again and left to infuse a second time for about 12 hours. Boiling is repeated 2-3 times, making the apple blanks transparent. Then they are dried (in a room, in an oven) and the surface is treated. More often they are simply sprinkled with sugar or powdered sugar.

This delicacy has excellent taste and pleasant aroma. Candied fruits are great for tea drinking, and can also act as a filling for baking, ice cream, jelly, or decorate various sweet dishes (for example, cottage cheese desserts).
