Ingredients
- 24 oz sugar
- 16 crab apples
Instructions
- Pour the sugar into a heavy duty pot.
- Pour water onto the sugar in the pot. Over a medium heat, start to caramelize the sugar.
- While the caramel is being prepared, wash the apples in warm water.
- Dry then well otherwise the caramel will not adhere to the skin of the apples.
- When the caramel reaches between 240 - 280 degrees F, then take it off the heat. I lifted my caramel off the heat at 275 deg F / 135 deg C.
- Poke a wooden stick into the apple, all the way through for added stability. Swirl it in the caramel, making sure to coat it up round the sides and top of the apple. Place on wax or similar non stick paper and allow to cool.

Notes
- Substitute white sugar with brown sugar, monk fruit sugar, Splenda baking blend, Truvia brown sugar blend, and coconut palm sugar.
- Do not use Stevia, or Xylitol, their chemical make up prevent caramelization from happening.
- Consider adding maple syrup, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and salt to the molten toffee.
- Slice them to create candy apple slices!
