Toffee Apples

• 8 small apples, washed and stalks removed
• 8 fl oz (225ml.) water
• 1 lb (450g) sugar

Put the sugar and water into a microwave bowl and cook on full power for 5 minutes.

Stir until sugar has dissolved then continue cooking on full power until golden, about 17-20 minutes.

Meanwhile insert a 5-6 inch length of doweling into each apple.

Remove toffee from microwave and stand for 2 minutes.

Dip the apples in the toffee mixture, using a spoon to cover the whole of the apples.

Hold the apples over the bowl to drain then stand on greaseproof paper to harden.
