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 :-(

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!

Method
Place the sugar, water, butter and vinegar in a medium 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 it reaches the hard crack stage (this usually occurs around 150°C). If you don’t have a sugar thermometer, you can check by dropping a small spoonful of hot syrup into a bowl of very cold water - it should form brittle threads that break when bent.
While mixture is boiling, wash and wipe the apples dry. You can dunk them in boiling water for a few seconds before drying (this helps the toffee adhere better). Push an ice-block stick into the base of each apple.
Remove pan from heat, tilt slightly then dip an apple into the toffee, turning to coat. Place upright on a sheet of baking paper or non-stick foil. Repeat with remaining apples. If toffee starts to thicken too much, return to the heat to warm up. Leave apples until cold and set.

Frequently asked questions
Can I customise my toffee apples with different toppings?
Absolutely! After dipping the apples in toffee, you can roll them in crushed nuts, sprinkles, chocolate chips.

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!
