Home-made toffee apples

Home-made toffee apples

A delicious festive dessert for Bonfire Night

  • Preparation: 15 mins
  • Cooking: 10 mins
  • Serves: 4

What you need:

  • 300g caster sugar
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds or 35g pecan nuts, chopped - optional
  • 2 apples, cored and cut into 8s

What you do:

  1. Prepare the apples and pierce each with a cocktail stick. Line a tray with baking parchment.
  2. Very gently, dissolve the sugar in a large pan. Don't stir with a spoon, just move the pan with a swirling motion to move the sugar around. Once it has dissolved, bubble until you have a golden brown caramel. Add the sesame or pecans if using.
  3. Working quickly, dip each piece of apple into the caramel, coating them evenly. Place onto the baking parchment. If the caramel becomes a little sticky, just warm it over a low heat until it loosens a little.
  4. Serve immediately with Kelly's Cornish Clotted Cream ice-cream.
