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.
