Toffee Apples

Toffee Apples

Ingredients

• 6 sweet and crunchy apples
• 6 tbsp caster sugar
• 85ml water
• 600g demerara sugar
• 100g unsalted butter
• 2 tsp vinegar
• 2 tsp vanilla essence

Preparation

1. Wash and dry the apples, remove the stalks, and push in a lollipop stick.
2. Place all the ingredients in a heavy-based pan and bring to the boil. Cooking time is approximately 30 minutes. If you have a sugar thermometer it should read 150C or 300F, or you can test by dripping into a bowl of cold water. The toffee is ready when drops harden.
3. Dip each apple into the toffee, remove and air-cool a few seconds then repeat until thickly coated.
4. Dip into a bowl of cold water and place on sugar-dusted tray until cool
