6 Cox's apples

6 wooden sticks - We used chop sticks

225g/8 ozs Granulated Sugar

30g/1 oz butter

2 table spoons golden syrup

method:-

Push the wooden sticks halfway into the apples at the stalk end

Put sugar and water into a thick bottemed pan and dissolve the sugar over a gentle heat.

Add the butter and syrup and bring to the boil. Boil without stirring until toffee reaches the soft crack stage (290 c) we dont have a sugar thermometer and it took about 20 to 25 mins. boiling.

Remove from heat and dip apples into the toffee 1 at a time - leave to harden on a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper...

Then eat and enjoy......Depending on how many you intend to make double or treble up ingredients....

Place 1lb granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon golden syrup, 2oz butter, 1/4 pint water and 2teas white wine vinegar into a heavy based saucepan and heat gently til the sugar has dissolved. boil rapidly for 5mins until a little of the mixture dropped into cold water forms hard but not brittle threads. (280f/140c). Push wooden sticks into your apples and dip into toffee mix. swirl around to remove any excess then place on a buttered tin or non-stick baking paper to set. If toffee hardens too quickly, gently re-heat to soften.

If you have a Save-On Foods or a Safeway nearby, they probably sell toffee or caramel apple dip that you can just warm up and use.

Unless you've got your heart set on a home-made sauce.

I don't have a recipe... Hayden Christensen, however, does. He's the beautiful guy who played Aniken Skywalker in Star Wars episodes 2 and 3. If you search Hayden Christensen on Youtube the video you need is the first one, the Blue Peter one. He makes homemade toffee apples.

I wouldn't mind a bite of his toffee apple.

Keep it simple: 1/4 pt water and 1lb of sugar and red food colouring if you want it to be red.

Cook the sugar and when it's converted to caramel just dip the apples and place in a greased tray or greaseproof paper.
