TOFFEE APPLE RECIPE

This free Toffee Apple Recipe is such a fun recipe to make with your kids… Very quick and easy to make!

Ingredients

12 small red or pink lady apples
12 wooden skewers
4 cups white sugar
375ml water
250ml golden syrup
15ml red food colouring
buttered wax paper


Method

• Wash and dry the apples. 
• Insert a wooden skewer into the stalk-end of each apple. 
• Place the sugar and water in a saucepan and heat slowly, stirring continuously to dissolve all the sugar crystals before the mixture begins to boil. (Remove all the sugar crystals on the sides of the saucepan with a wet brush). 
• Add the golden syrup and boil until just before the hard crack stage stir occasionally, otherwise the syrup will crystallise. 
• Add the red colouring and mix well. 
• Remove the saucepan from the stove and place into a larger saucepan with enough boiling water to reach halfway up.
• Return to the stove and reduce the heat so that the water in the outer pan only just boils. 
• Dip the apples in the syrup, coating them well, allow most of the syrup to drip back into the saucepan. 
• Dry the skewered apples slightly by gently turning them back and forth. 
• Place on buttered waxed paper, and allow to dry completely. 

Variation:

• Use green apples and green food colouring instead of red for green toffee apples.
