Crisp, tart apples encased in a hard, glossy red candy shell for a traditional and nostalgic autumn treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 Medium Granny Smith apples
  • 400g Granulated sugar
  • 100ml Water
  • 4 tbsp Golden syrup
  • 1 tsp Red food coloring
  • 1 tsp White vinegar

Instructions

  1. Remove the stalks from the apples and dip them in boiling water for 10 seconds to remove wax, then dry thoroughly.
  2. Push a wooden lolly stick firmly into the top of each apple.
  3. Place sugar, water, golden syrup, and vinegar in a heavy-based saucepan and stir over low heat until dissolved.
  4. Increase heat and boil without stirring until the mixture reaches 150°C (hard crack stage) on a sugar thermometer.
  5. Remove from heat, stir in the food coloring, and let the bubbles settle.
  6. Tilt the pan and swirl each apple in the syrup until coated, then let the excess drip off.
  7. Place on non-stick baking parchment to harden for at least 20 minutes.

Notes

  • Work quickly as the toffee sets fast once removed from the heat.
  • Ensure apples are at room temperature to prevent the toffee from cracking.
  • Boil the pan with water afterwards for easy cleaning of hardened sugar.
