Ingredients

6 -8 small to medium red apples

6-8 wooden butcher’s skewers or chop sticks

1 ½ cups Castor Sugar

2 tsp White Vinegar

½ cup water

½ tsp red food colouring

Directions

Wash the apples and dry thoroughly. Push the wooden sticks or chopsticks into the centre of each apple at the stem end.

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 and boil vigorously without stirring until the toffee is just turning golden or 150°C on a sugar thermometer. This is also known as the hard crack stage. Remove from heat and place on a wetted cloth to stop further cooking. Colour with food colouring, swirling the toffee to mix the colour evenly. Do not stir.

Carefully dip apples in the toffee, rotating to coat completely. Allow excess toffee to drip off. Take care – the toffee is very hot. Place the stem or handle upwards onto a baking paper-lined tray.

When the toffee has 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.
