Toffee Apples 🍎

INGREDIENTS

• 4 cups sugar • 1 cup waterLet the sugar dissolve in the water over medium to low heat
• Then add in ½ teaspoon cream of tartar &3 teaspoon red colouring

METHOD

- Allow the above 4 ingredients to come to a boil on medium heat- Once it starts bubbling lower heat slightly.- Bring it back up to medium once the bubbles go down .- Use a Candy Thermometer if you have one- Let it reach 150° / 300° Fahrenheit ( hard crack stage ) - Otherwise you may check by dropping a teaspoon of the syrup into ice water to test if it's the correct stage. ( It must be able to crack )- Guard your syrup because it can very easily burn.
- Allow the syrup to settle for just a few minutes then coat your apples ; as if you do it immediately your toffee apples will have lots of tiny air bubbles
- Twist each skewered apple quickly into syrup, letting the excess drip off back into the pot & then stand on wax paper
- Makes about 25 snack apples

INFO & TIPS

If you're placing them into cellophane bags then quickly do it while they're still warm (once you're done coating all the apples ) because as they get cooler it gets stickier & more difficult to put them into the bags.
