The sugar goes as far as hard caramel before the apple goes in at all, which is why the coating is glassy and the fruit inside stays pale. It is a fairground and market food, carried on a stick and eaten standing in the cold. The apple needs to be cold and firm, or the caramel seizes around a soft fruit and slides off.
