Toffee Apples
6-8 small to medium red apples 6-8 wooden butcher's skewers or chop sticks 1 1/2 cups caster sugar 2
tsp white vinegar
1/2 cup water
2/4 tsp red food colouring
Wash the apples and dry thoroughly. Push a wooden stick or chopstick into the centre of each apple
at the stem end. Line a baking tray with a sheet of baking paper. Place sugar, vinegar and water
into a deep, heavy-based saucepan and stir over a low heat until the sugar is dissolved. Bring to
the boil, then boil vigorously without stirring until the toffee is just turning golden, or 150 C on
a sugar thermometer. Carefully dip apples in the toffee, rotating to coat completely. Allow excess
toffee to drip off. Take care When set, wrap in cling film or cellophane and tie with fancy ribbon.
Leave in a cool place, not the refrigerator. These are best made on the day they are to be eaten.
