SNOW APPLES RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200c/fan 180c/gas 6. Peel, quarter and core the apples. Cut into roughly 2cm chunks and tip into a pan. Add the butter and 20g of the sugar. Cook gently for 10-15 minutes until the apple is well-softened. Stir occasionally to prevent it catching on the bottom of the pan. remove from the heat and leave to cool for 5 minutes.
• Whisk the egg whites in a clean bowl until stiff (you’ll know when they’re thick enough because you’ll be able to turn the bowl upside down without them falling out). Gradually whisk in the remaining sugar, two tablespoons at a time to make a thick, glossy meringue.
• Whisk in the vanilla extract. Beat the egg yolks thoroughly into the apple mixture and spoon into 4 buttered 100ml ramekins. Spoon the meringue gently, but generously, on top and place on a baking tray. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the meringue is just set and very lightly browned. serve hot.

Steps:

• Insert a lollipop stick into the stem end of each apple.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper.
• Add the sugar, water, and corn syrup to a medium saucepan fitted with a candy thermometer. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then cook until the temperature reaches 300°F (150°C), about 5 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the red food coloring.
• Dip the apples in the syrup to coat entirely, then set on the prepared baking sheet. Let cool until the candy hardens, about 5 minutes.
• Add the green candy melts to a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on low power in 20-second intervals, stirring between, until melted. Stir in the canola oil until smooth. Let cool slightly, then transfer to a squeeze bottle. Let cool for 5 minutes more, or until the candy sets quickly when squeezed out of the bottle.
• Use the melted candy to draw eyes and a mouth on each apple, then outline the rest of the apple above the very bottom and fill in the space outside the eyes and mouth.
• Let set for 10–15 minutes, until completely hardened.
• Enjoy!
