Method

Ingredients

Preheat the oven to 100°C.
Slice the apples into wafer-thin slices and dip into the icing sugar. Place on a baking tray and dry out in the oven for about an hour.
In a saucepan over a medium heat, gradually add the 250g sugar and leave to caramelise. Arrange the popcorn in a circular shape, then spoon over the caramel in batches until the popcorn is stuck into a solid wreath. Arrange the apple wafers on the wreath.
Dip the tip of a wooden spoon in the remaining warm caramel and pull until glassy strands begin to form. Wind these strands around or over the wreath and dust liberally with icing sugar.

Cook’s note: This wreath does not keep and should be given as a gift or enjoyed at your table straightaway.
