Common Recipe Questions
- → What type of apple works best?
Granny Smith apples are ideal as their tartness complements the sweetness, but other varieties like Honeycrisp can be used.
- → How can I melt marshmallows without a broiler?
You can use a grill, a campfire, or microwave in short bursts until soft and golden.
- → Is dark or milk chocolate preferable?
Both work well; dark chocolate offers a richer, less sweet flavor while milk chocolate provides creaminess.
- → Can I make caramel sauce at home?
Yes. Melt sugar with butter and cream in a saucepan over medium heat until smooth and golden.
- → Are there ingredient substitutions available?
Try pear slices instead of apple, sprinkle sea salt for a savory touch, or use cinnamon for added warmth.
- → How do I prevent marshmallows from burning?
Watch closely during broiling or grilling and remove as soon as they are golden and soft.
