So, I'm a bartender that hasn't had much experience with caramel. I'm looking to use it as a garnish by dipping dehydrated apple slices in it. My question is, How do I create the dripping effect on the dehydrated apple slice? I want it to look "drippy" but also want it hardened. Is that possible to do before hand or do I have to dip the dried apple each time I make the drink? It's for a cocktail competition so the garnish has to be on point. Any help is appreciated!!

I am a bartender who has little experience using caramel. I want to use caramel as a garnish by dipping dehydrated apple slices in it.

Also, is it possible to prepare the apples in advance, or do I need to do each one when making the drink? This is for a cocktail competition, so the garnish has to be on point.
