Ingredients

    3 cups Chelsea White Sugar or Chelsea Organic Raw Sugar
    1 Tbsp white vinegar
    1 Tbsp butter
    1/2 cup water
    1/2 tsp cream of tartar
    Few drops Red food colouring
    8 apples
    8 wooden ice-block sticks or wooden sticks

Method

    Put the sugar, vinegar, butter and water into a saucepan. Heat gently, stirring constantly until sugar dissolves. Add cream of tartar and food colouring. Bring to the boil. Do not stir. Let mixture boil until the hard crack stage. (The hard crack stage usually happens at 146-154°C. This stage can be determined by dropping a spoonful of hot syrup into a bowl of very cold water.
    If the stage has been reached, the syrup will form brittle threads in the water, and will crack if you try to mould it. Or use a candy thermometer.)

    While mixture is boiling, wash and wipe the apples dry. Push an ice-block stick into each stem end. Remove pan from heat, tilt slightly then dip an apple into the toffee, turning to coat. Place on a sheet of baking paper or non-stick foil. Repeat with remaining apples. Leave until cold and set.

Fantastic! Best recipe. I use a cup of iced water to judge how hard/soft the toffee is and it works perfectly. Easy and delicious! I added blue and red food colouring for poison looking toffee apples for my Halloween party!

Awsome

TASTE AMAZING

thanks for this helpful review me and my kids Ryan and cooper! cant wait

Yeahhhh

Fantastic recipe. It burned twice BUT only because my candy thermometer was faulty. For those of you that have this problem make sure that your thermometer is correct and heat up to 150 C. Works very very well!

I have made this a number of times now and even with a very slow simmer the mixture slightly burns and turns brown rather than red. I see others have noticed this too. Would love to know how to get them nice and red and not burned.

Absolutely disgusting, they melted overnight and before that they were impossible to break. The cream of tartar and vinegar give it a horrible taste I'm afraid.

Followed recipe using raw sugar first time trying to make it. Very happy and will continue using recipe. Thank you Chelsea sugar :)

this is a great recipe thank u (:

Followed recipe step by step; Although the recipe was generic I used a sugar thermometer. Toffee tasted slightly burnt and the red of the coloring wasn't visible through the caramel color of the toffee. Disaster.

Disgusting

Amazing recipe, easy to follow and tasty as heck.

i would like it softer

Wonderful memories of a bygone age, just watch for teeth breakages!

Very nice, although I didn't use food colouring for a good caramel look. Good recipe instead of apples I used shallots. Very sweet and bitter, I recommend using shallots. Balanced as all things should be.

I love this its so easy to do, and only takes a few minutes these are great to sell at kids fairs and make the perfect treat for summer holidays.

Great recipe, I added Hansell raspberry also, gives that raspberry taste & smell, delicious

I like it

Best to make with the white sugar as the raw sugar turns too brown during the boiling stage. Tastes slightly burnt & affects the food colouring :-(
