Toffee Apples

Makes 4 Apples

Ingredients

• 175g light brown soft sugar
• 100g golden syrup
• 1tsp white wine vinegar
• 15g butter
• 4/5tsp black food colouring
• 4 apples

Method

• In a saucepan, (on a low heat) mix the sugar, golden syrup, vinegar and 2tbsp of water. Stir until the sugar has dissolved - this may take up to 10 minutes.
• Increase the heat and boil for 5-6 minutes. 
• To test if the syrup is ready, get a bowl of ice cold water and drop the syrup into it. If it turns solid immediately then it is ready. If not, keep boiling.
• Once the syrup is ready, mix in the black food colouring. 
• Place a skewer or a fork into each apple and dip them in the syrup, ensuring they are completely covered. Allow excess to drip off and then set them, skewer/fork up on a plate. 
• Leave to set.
