Toffee apples are a hit with adults and children alike – nostalgic, sweet and delicious.
10 Servings
Ingredients
8 Granny Smith apples
400g golden caster sugar
100ml water
4 tbsp golden syrup
1 tsp Schwartz Cinnamon Ground
1 tsp white wine vinegar
Method
- Place the apples in a large bowl, then cover with boiling water – this will remove the waxy coating to help the caramel to stick.
- Dry thoroughly and twist off any stalks, then push a wooden skewer or lolly stick into the stalk end of each apple.
- Have ready a sheet of baking parchment on a wire rack.
- Tip the sugar into a pan along with the water, and set over a medium heat. Cook for 5 mins until the sugar dissolves. Then stir in the golden syrup, cinnamon and vinegar – set a sugar thermometer into the pan and heat to 140C.
-
Working quickly and carefully, dip and twist each apple in the hot toffee until covered, let any excess drip away, then place on the baking parchment to
harden. You may have to heat the toffee a little if the temperature drops and it starts to feel thick. - Leave to cool before eating. Toffee apples can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in a dry place.
