Halloween Toffee Apples
Serves: 9
Ingredients
9 small red apples
wooden skewers
450g (1 lb) sugar
150ml (1/4 pint) water
30g (1 oz) butter
1 tablespoon glucose
3 drops red food colouring
Method
- Wash and dry the apples thoroughly. Impale them on the skewers.
- Place sugar and water into a saucepan, stir over heat until the sugar is dissolved. Add butter and glucose, cook rapidly, without stirring until it reaches 150 degrees C or is at hard crack stage.
- When mixture stops bubbling, add the red food colouring.
- Stand the saucepan in a large bowl of hot water to prevent the toffee from setting. Dip apples into the toffee to coat thoroughly. Stand upright (apple down) on a greased tray to set. When cold wrap in cellophane or greaseproof paper.
