Method
- 1
Wash the apples in hot water and dry them well to remove the waxy coating. Push a stick firmly into the top of each one.
- 2
Line a tray with baking paper and grease it lightly with a little of the dairy free spread.
- 3
Put the sugar, golden syrup, vinegar and water in a heavy pan. Stir over a low heat until the sugar has melted, then stop stirring.
- 4
Boil for 10 to 15 minutes until a drop of the toffee cracks when it falls into a glass of cold water. It will be deep golden.
14 min - 5
Take off the heat and stir in the rest of the spread. Let the bubbles settle for 1 minute.
- 6
Tilt the pan and twist each apple in the toffee until coated. Let the extra drip off, then stand on the tray. Leave for 20 minutes to set hard.
