Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large fresh apples preferably tart, like Granny Smith
  • 200 grams granulated sugar for the toffee coating
  • 50 grams unsalted butter adds richness to the toffee
  • 1 tablespoon water helps to dissolve sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional, for flavor

Equipment

  • Apple Corer or Knife
  • Cooking saucepan
  • Candy thermometer
  • Baking sheet lined with parchment paper
  • Skewer or popsicle sticks

Method
 

  1. Wash the apples thoroughly and remove the stems. Insert a skewer or popsicle stick into the core of each apple to make handling easier. Place the prepared apples on a tray lined with parchment paper.
  2. Combine granulated sugar, water, and butter in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Stir gently until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture begins to bubble.
  3. Attach a candy thermometer and cook the toffee mixture without stirring until it reaches 150°C (300°F), indicating it has turned into a caramel toffee consistency. Watch for a deep amber color and a fragrant caramel aroma.
  4. Remove the saucepan from heat and carefully dip each apple into the hot toffee, tilting the pan as needed to submerge the apple completely. Tap gently to let excess toffee drip off, then place the coated apple on the parchment-lined tray to set.
  5. Repeat the dipping process for all apples, ensuring an even, glossy coating. Allow the toffee to cool and harden, which should take about 10-15 minutes at room temperature.
  6. Once the toffee is firm and shiny, serve the Poison Toffee Apples as a spooky, crunchy treat perfect for Halloween celebrations.
As the night winds down, these Poison Toffee Apples stand as a testament to creative Halloween fun. They’re easy to make, yet striking enough to steal the show at any party. With their dark allure and sweet surprise, they promise a memorable night of treats.

When you pull these apples from the fridge, the glossy coating crackles delightfully in the cold air—an irresistible sound that’s part of the magic. Whether for a spooky gathering or a fun family project, these toffee apples bring a little chaos and a lot of charm to the season. Enjoy crafting and devouring every last bite.
