  I made my own toffee sauce:50g butter, 50g light muscovado, 1-2 spoonfuls honey/maple syrup/golden syrup and 2-3 spoonfuls cream heated together. Cheaper than buying toffee sauce and much nice too. Also worked well with apples.

  I did this a few times as set out in the recipe and even though it always went down well, it was a bit of a faff. I took to making one large tart with sliced apples instead which you can knock up a lot quicker.

  Very easy to make and looks great. I did'nt find these quite sweet enough for my taste but served with a good quaility vanilla cream or ice cream this is a nice light dessert.
