- Turn the heat off and wait until the bubbles subside. Carefully tilt the pan to the side and then dip an apple into the toffee, gently twisting until it is completely coated.
- Remove gently and twist until excess caramel drips into the pot. Place onto the prepare tray. Leave to harden. Continue until all the toffee is used up.
