Bonfire Wonky Toffee Apples

Try this classic toffee apple recipe for bonfire night. Not a fan of toffee? Try our chocolate version with cocoa nibs and mini marshmallows.

Prep time: 10 minutes

Cook time: 10 minutes

Total time: 20 minutes

Servings: 6

Ingredients:

6 Apples

200 g Golden caster sugar

For the chocolate apples:

200 g Dark chocolate

For the toppings (optional):

Mini marshmallows

Cacao nibs

seeds and nuts of your choice

Sea salt 

Recipe:

  1. Carefully push a fork into the top of each apple, through the core, until secure. Rest the apples, fork-up, on a lined baking tray.
  2. Add the golden caster sugar to a medium-sized saucepan and heat on low until the sugar dissolves. Try to not stir it at all – just swirl it gently in the pan. It's ready when the caramel is golden. Making chocolate-covered apples instead? Melt your chocolate now.
  3. Work quickly to dip each apple (using the fork) into the caramel or chocolate. Be very careful not to touch the caramel – it's very hot. You might need to tip the pan to make sure you coat the apples evenly. Repeat quickly with the other apples.
