Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 whole Apples
- 300 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons Golden syrup (or light corn syrup)
- 4 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 6 pieces Lollipop or wooden sticks
Instructions
Thoroughly wash and dry the apples. Remove any stems and skewer each apple with a lollipop or wooden stick inserted through the top, ensuring they're secure.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it lightly to prevent sticking. Set the prepared apples aside.
In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, unsalted butter, golden syrup, and water. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring gently to dissolve the sugar.
Once the sugar has dissolved, stop stirring and bring the mixture to a boil. Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature. Heat until the mixture reaches 140°C (285°F) for a hard crack stage but still pliable enough to coat the apples.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the bubbling settle for a few seconds.
Carefully tilt the saucepan to one side and dip each apple into the hot toffee, spinning to coat it evenly. Ensure the apples are covered up to where the stick is inserted. Allow excess toffee to drip back into the pan.
Place the coated apples onto the prepared baking sheet and allow them to cool and harden completely at room temperature. This should take about 10-15 minutes.
Serve and enjoy your homemade toffeed apples! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
