Method

Clean the apples and push a lolly stick into the top of each and set aside.
Gently dissolve the sugar, syrup and butter in a saucepan with 75ml water then stir through the vinegar. Turn up the heat and boil until the mixture reaches 140C when it will have reached the toffee stage.
Carefully dip the apples into the hot toffee and swirl to coat, if the pan is too shallow use a spoon to coat. Place on a board lined with baking paper to set.
Eat your toffee apples!

Top Tip for making Toffee apples

Use a sugar thermometer to ensure the temperature is right - alternatively, drop a little of the mixture into a bowl of cold water and if the syrup separates into threads which are hard but not brittle, it is ready.
