"You will also need 8 wooden ice-lolly sticks, a thermometer and a baking tray lined with parchment paper.\r\n\r\nPut the apples in a large bowl, pour over boiling water to cover and then quickly pour it off. This will remove any wax coating from the apples and will help the toffee to stick. Polish dry.\r\n\r\nPush the sticks halfway into the core of the apples at the stalk end.  \r\n\r\nNext, combine the Tate &amp; Lyle&amp;reg; Golden Caster Sugar and water in a large heavy-based pan and stir constantly over a low heat with a wooden spoon for about 5 minutes until the sugar has dissolved.\r\n\r\nAdd the Lyle\u2019s Golden Syrup&amp;reg; and butter and stir until melted and combined. \r\n\r\nBring to the boil without stirring, otherwise the sugar may crystallise, until the mixture reaches 149\u00B0-154\u00B0C (300\u00B0-310\u00B0F) or the hard-crack stage for about 15-18 minutes. If you don't have a thermometer you can check that the toffee is ready by dropping a teaspoon of the mixture into a bowl of cold water. It should harden instantly and, when removed, be brittle and easy to break. If you can still squash the toffee, continue to boil it. \r\n\r\nRemove the pan from the heat, let the bubbles subside a little, then tilt the pan, and quickly and carefully dip the apples one at a time in the toffee, twirling them as you do, to completely cover. Let any excess drip away before placing on a baking tray to harden. If you find the toffee becomes too thick because the temperature has dropped, just heat it up again. \r\n\r\nOnce set, store the toffee apples in an airtight container in a dry place, not the fridge, and eat within 24 hours or the toffee will soften and start to liquefy.\r\n\r\nDo keep children well away when you\u2019re making the caramel as it can cause nasty burns.\r\n\r\n\r\nRecipe courtesy of Lyle's Golden Syrup&amp;reg;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
