Toffee apples recipe Yummy toffee apples are a cake stall favourite and fun to make at home with the children. You can colour the toffee with any colour you fancy but the traditional colours are red and green. Prep Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 30 mins Ingredients: 10 small pink lady apples 4 cups white sugar 1 cup water 1/2 tsp cream of tartar 2 tsp red food colouring 10 wooden sticks Method: Wash and dry the apples. Remove stems and push the sticks into the base. Set aside on a baking tray lined with baking paper. In a medium heavy based saucepan add the sugar and water over a low heat. When the sugar is dissolved, stop stirring the mixture and bring it to the boil. Use a pastry brush dipped in water to brush down any crystals that have formed on the sides of the pan and then stir in the cream of tartar and food colouring. Reduce heat to low and simmer the toffee for 20 minutes until it gets to hard crack stage. Turn off the heat and tilt your pan to dip the apples in the toffee. Stand the apples head down on the baking paper and leave to set at room temperature
