THE BREAKDOWN
- APPLES AND STRAWBERRIES
- SPRITE OR ANY LEMON-LIME SODA
- VANILLA CANDY COATING
- CHOPPED PEANUTS OR ANY CHOICE OF NUTS
- CHRISTMAS SPRINKLES
HOW TO MAKE HOLIDAY DIPPED APPLES AND STRAWBERRIES
Wash the strawberries and apples. Slice the apples into pieces and dip into the lemon lime soda and pat dry. (This step is optional but will help the apples from browning as fast.)
Melt the vanilla candy coating according to the package instructions.
Dip the apple slices into the melted coating about ½ way and place onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
Dip a few at a time and then add the chopped nuts/sprinkles before the coating sets.
Repeat with the strawberries.
Once the coating sets, arrange the fruit onto a platter or board. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
SUBSTITUTIONS AND VARIATIONS FOR HOLIDAY DIPPED APPLES AND STRAWBERRIES
Chocolate Lover: Try using dark or white chocolate for a rich and indulgent flavor. Experiment with different types of chocolate. You can even create a mix for a marble effect on your dipped fruits.
Caramel Drizzle: Take your dipped fruits to the next level by drizzling them with warm caramel sauce.
Nut-Free Zone: For those with nut allergies, drop the chopped peanuts and roll the dipped apples and strawberries in shredded coconut. You can make it plain too!
HOW TO STORE HOLIDAY DIPPED FRUITS
Place them on a parchment-lined tray and make sure they are not touching, to prevent sticking. Cover the tray with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Then store them in the refrigerator. These will last up to 3 days.
TIPS FOR MAINTAINING FRESHNESS
Avoid Moisture: Moisture can cause the candy coating to become sticky. Make sure the dipped fruits are completely dry before storing them. Usse parchment paper to absorb any excess moisture.
Room Temperature Warning: Avoid storing the treats at room temperature for an extended period, especially if your environment is warm. The candy coating may soften the texture and appearance. It’s not pleasing to eat.
