8 Apples
8 lolly sticks
170g of fruit sugar
120mls of water
1 teaspoon of cider vinegar
1 tablespoon of golden syrup
30g of butter

Decoration Ingredients

A tub of hundreds and thousands
Chocolate

How To Make Toffee Apples

Wash and dry the apples and then insert the lolly sticks into their stalk ends.

Line a baking tray with grease proof paper.

Put the ingredients into a pot and gently heat to dissolve the butter and mix with the sugar. Once dissolved turn up the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes when the mixture should turn golden brown and syrupy.

Remove from the heat and allow to cool for a few minutes.

Dip each apple into the mixture making sure all areas of the apple are covered. Put each apple on the baking tray to set. The optional decorations should be added before placing the apples on the tray.

Why is there vinegar in the ingredients.
Also what type of vinegar, obviously not malt.

this one worked a treat, also sliced the apples into bite sizes and then coated them which was delicious, we have a sugar thermometer which makes easy work of knowing when it ready
