Toffee Candy Apples:
You'll need a candy thermometer, wooden sticks, and a heavy sacuepan for these treats.
8 Granny Smith apples
1 1/2 cups packed dark brown sugar
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup dark corn syrup or molasses
2 tablespoons stick margarine or butter
1 tablespoon white vinegar
Wash and dry apples; remove stems. Insert wooden sticks into the stem end of each apple; set aside.
Line a baking sheet with foil.
Combine sugar and remaining ingredients in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cover and cook 3 minutes. Uncover and continue cooking, without stirring, until mixture reaches 280° (about 8 minutes).
Remove from heat. Quickly dip apples in sugar mixture; allow excess to drip off. Place apples, stick sides up, on prepared pan; cool completely.

The classic TOFFEE APPLE
INGREDIENTS
6 sweet and crunchy apples
6 tbsp caster sugar
85ml water
600g demerara sugar
100g unsalted butter
2 tsp vinegar
2 tsp vanilla essence
Preparation
• Wash and dry the apples, remove the stalks, and push in a lollipop stick.
• Place all the ingredients in a heavy-based pan and bring to the boil. Cooking time is approximately 30 minutes. If you have a sugar thermometer it should read 150C or 300F, or you can test by dripping into a bowl of cold water. The toffee is ready when drops harden.
• Dip each apple into the toffee, remove and air-cool a few seconds then repeat until thickly coated.
• Dip into a bowl of cold water and place on sugar-dusted tray until cool.
