IT is school holidays, instead of just sitting in front of the TV or computer, why not get busy in the kitchen and ask your mom to help you make delicious toffee apples.
Ingredients:
- Seven apples
- 265g unrefined demerara sugar
- 130ml water.
- ½tsp white wine vinegar
- 2 tbsp golden syrup
- 30g unsalted butter
Method:
Step 1
Prepare the apples by cutting out a small hole in the top and attaching a stick. Lightly grease a baking sheet for placing the coated apples on.
Step 2
Dissolve the sugar in the water over a moderate heat. When it has dissolved, stir in the vinegar, syrup and butter.
Step 3
Bring to the boil and cook until it reaches a hard crack stage. This should take about 10 minutes. To test this, drop a small amount in a glass of cold water. If it is ready, a blob of toffee will form which is slightly stretchy but breaks with pressure.
Step 4
Dip each apple into the toffee turning it to completely cover the apple.
Step 5
Leave the apples on the prepared tray. Wrap in cellophane for gifting.
