Recipe Instructions:
-
Prepare the Apples:
- Push a wooden cocktail stick into each apple core, ensuring they are secure.
-
Create the Toffee Mixture:
- In a large, heavy-based saucepan with a sugar thermometer attached, combine the demerara sugar and water.
- Heat the mixture gently until the sugar is completely dissolved.
-
Bring to a Boil:
- Add the remaining ingredients (butter, cream of tartar, treacle, golden syrup) to the saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, ensuring all ingredients are well combined.
-
Reach the Soft Crack Stage:
- Boil the mixture until it reaches the soft crack stage, approximately 143°C (290°F).
- This is when a small amount of the syrup dropped into cold water separates into hard but not brittle threads.
-
Brush Down the Sides:
- Occasionally, use a pastry brush dipped in cold water to brush down the sides of the pan.
- Avoid stirring to maintain the toffee’s desired consistency.
-
Dip and Twirl:
- Dip each apple into the toffee mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Twirl the apples around for a few seconds to allow excess toffee to drip off.
-
Cool and Set:
- Place the toffee-coated apples on a buttered baking sheet or waxed paper.
- Allow them to cool and set, creating a luscious toffee shell around the crisp apples.
-
Enjoy Responsibly:
- Indulge in the sweet and crunchy goodness of your homemade toffee apples!
- For the best taste and texture, consume within 1 day.

- Use fresh and firm apples for a satisfying crunch.
