The appearance of the wax apple
The appearance of the wax apple is spot on. It has beautiful golden-brown skin with a soft, sweet taste that is not only visually appetizing, but it’s also quite good for you. Replicate the appearance of an actual apple by sprinkling just a few drops of food coloring on the skin, then baking it in the oven for about an hour at 170°C/325°F. The skin will turn a rich golden brown and the color of the baked apple will be very close to the real thing.
Flavor
The taste of the wax apple is very similar to that of an actual apple. You can sprinkle a few drops of vanilla or lemon flavoring on the skin to give it a fresh taste or add some cinnamon or ginger to make the baked apple taste more like a Christmas or Thanksgiving apple. If you find that your baked apple is too sweet, you can add some sugar or honey to make it more palatable.
Home decoration
The wax apple looks great solo on the shelf or stacked together in a glass case. It is often sold as a decorative item, but it also makes an excellent subject for home decor. You can use it as table decor, a kitchen storage container, a pretty decoration on the wall, and even a candle stand. If you are going for a more traditional look, you can also use it to make a beautiful Christmas ornament.
Instantly changes the appearance of an entire room
The wax apple is a perfect addition to any room. It can be hung from the ceiling, neck, or wall. It will look like an actual apple as soon as it is roasted. It is a great decor item because even though it looks like an apple, it actually tastes like a pumpkin. Make sure to use an apple that is at its peak of bloom so it will be even more attractive when baked. You can purchase pre-made wax apples that come in attractive plastic bags, so you can just add some food coloring and bake the apple in the bag. They are also available as a ready-made item in many grocery stores and online retailers.
Simple to make
The making of the wax apple is easy. You just need an apple, a bag, and an oven. The recipe for the homemade wax apple is quite simple. Put the apple in the bag, tie it with a piece of colorful wire, then place it in the preheated oven for about an hour.
