  This recipe worked well and was quite quick. Have tried other recipes before but will stick with this as the toffee had a better consistancy. Liked the tip about washing the wax off.

  This is an excellent recipe, my 8 year old daughter and I decided to try this recipe on our 'quality time girly night' . I must say that i was pleasantly suprised at how good the toffee came out. The tip about using boiling water to remove wax from apples is a good one. After adding the vinegar and syrup, I simmered the toffee for 35 mins whilst keeping a very very close eye on it. I also coated the apples twice because there was a bit of toffee mixture leftover. Anyway my daughters telling me that im spending too much time writing this comment so byeeeee. :)

  Liked this recipe and the kids loved it, only problem was the baking parchment all stuck to the apples. I would have preferred to put them on a plate and let them cool on there. Next time...............

  A great recipe. Let this be a warning to everyone else though. Wash those apples to get off any coating that shouldn't be on them. Mine were lovely the night they were made, but the left over ones had lost all their toffee to the baking tray by the next morning...

  Came home and found my son trying to make toffee apples (disasterously, I could smell the burning from the gate!). So we looked up this recipe and have to say, we impressed ourselves! The only thing wrong (and this was my fault) was that I should have left the mixture boiling whilst I was coating them, as it cools very quickly so that my apples look like they have a strange lumpy disease - but they taste brilliant! Next time I will do this properly. The hint about popping them in water really did the trick too!

  To get the pan clean, put some water in the pan and put back on the heat, this will do the hard work for you.

  Used this recipe last year and it worked really well - have bought a sugar thermometer for this year to make it easier as it took me ages to judge last time. Only problem was them sticking to the parchment - does anyone have any tips? (Maybe the toffee wasn't quite right or...?)

  If you find they stick to the parchment, try very lightly greasing the paper first. I use Olive Oil and they have never stuck.
