Wax on, Wax off.

So that the caramel will stay on the apples and not slide down into a gooey blob at the bottom, I have to soak them in super hot water to melt off the wax that suppliers think sells more apples.


This is what's left after I dry them off. Kind of interesting, huh?


These were bought at Walmart, but I usually get them from Piazza Produce, and will buy organic ones this summer. There's nothing bad about it, in fact it's probably better that the wax is removed. It's not toxic, but who the heck wants to eat wax?
