As Hallowe'en & Guy Folk's night is fastly approaching here's a Toffee Apple recipe i use!
Servings: 6
Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients for the toffee coating:
225g demerara sugar
110ml water
0.5 tsp vinegar
2 tbsp golden syrup
25g butter
For the apples you will need:
6 dessert apples
6 wooden skewers, for holding the apples – ice lolly sticks will do
Method
1. Dissolve the sugar in the water over a moderate heat. When it has dissolved, stir in the vinegar, syrup and butter. Bring to a boil and cook without stirring until it reaches hard-crack stage (138C) or hardens into a ball when dropped in a jug of cold water. This should take around 10 minutes boiling time.
2. While the syrup is cooking, pierce each apple with a wooden stick. Once the toffee is ready, dip each apple into the hot toffee, turning it around in the syrup so that each one is fully coated.
3. Leave to harden on a lightly oiled tray before serving. If you’re planning to keep them for a day or two, wrap the apples in cellophane.
Then ENJOY! If you can't be boved to make them just pop into your local Morrisons or CO OP and buy one or two already made :P
