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
- Wash and dry the apples, remove the stalks, and push in a lollipop stick.
- 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.
- Dip each apple into the toffee, remove and air-cool a few seconds then repeat until thickly coated.
- Dip into a bowl of cold water and place on sugar-dusted tray until cool
