Method

Place the sugar, water, butter and vinegar in a medium saucepan. Heat gently, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves.

Add cream of tartar and food colouring. Bring to the boil. Do not stir. Let mixture boil until it reaches the hard crack stage (this usually occurs around 150°C). If you don’t have a sugar thermometer, you can check by dropping a small spoonful of hot syrup into a bowl of very cold water - it should form brittle threads that break when bent.

While mixture is boiling, wash and wipe the apples dry. You can dunk them in boiling water for a few seconds before drying (this helps the toffee adhere better). Push an ice-block stick into the base of each apple.

Remove pan from heat, tilt slightly then dip an apple into the toffee, turning to coat. Place upright on a sheet of baking paper or non-stick foil. Repeat with remaining apples. If toffee starts to thicken too much, return to the heat to warm up. Leave apples until cold and set.

Additional tips

Toffee apples are best eaten on the day they’re made, for that perfect toffee ‘crack’. If you need to store them, wrap tightly in cellophane and keep at room temperature.

Frequently asked questions
Can I customise my toffee apples with different toppings?

Absolutely! After dipping the apples in toffee, you can roll them in crushed nuts, sprinkles, chocolate chips.
