Method
- Combine the water and the sugar in a saucepan and heat over a medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Once the sugar has dissolved, add the butter, vinegar, syrup and red food colouring.
- Increase the heat to moderate and bring to the boil, cooking the syrup until it reached 138°C (use a sugar thermometer to measure accurately). Skewer the apples with the sticks then dip in the hot syrup, trying to coat as much of the apples as possible in the syrup.
- Leave the toffee apples to cool and harden on a lighly oiled baking tray. Serve once the toffee is hard.
