Toffee Apples
A toffee apple is a classic Bonfire Night or autumnal treat. This recipe only needs three ingredients.
Equipment
- Wooden Lolly Sticks
Ingredients
- 550 g (11⁄4lb) sugar
- 300 ml (10fl oz) water
- 6 eating apples
Instructions
- Gently heat 550g (11⁄4lb) sugar and 300ml (10fl oz) water in a heavy-based pan until sugar dissolves.
- Meanwhile, spear six eating apples with a lolly stick (or fork). Once the sugar has dissolved completely - otherwise it will crystallise - turn up the heat and let the mixture boil until it turns a caramel colour. Take off heat and immediately dip the pan in cold water to stop the caramel cooking further.
- Quickly dip each apple into the caramel to coat, then place on non-stick baking parchment to cool. They should last for 2-3hr before the caramel starts softening.
