Ingredients
  

For the Toffee
  • 2 cups Granulated Sugar Essential for sweetness and structure; no substitutions recommended.
  • 1 cup Water Use room temperature for faster dissolving.
  • 1/2 cup Liquid Glucose or Light Corn Syrup Adds stability to the toffee; light corn syrup can be used as a substitute.

Equipment

  • Baking paper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Grease a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Insert bamboo skewers into the tops of the Granny Smith apples.
  2. In a medium-sized saucepan, combine granulated sugar, water, and liquid glucose over medium heat. Stir until sugar dissolves.
  3. Cook the toffee mixture until it reaches 150ºC (310ºF) on a candy thermometer, avoiding stirring after it simmers.
  4. Once the toffee reaches temperature, dip each apple quickly, swirling to cover completely.
