Ingredients
Avoid stirring the sugar while it cooks as it could crystallise.
- 6 red dessert apples
- Vegetable oil, for greasing
- 350g (12oz) granulated sugar
- 50g (1¾ oz) flaked almonds
Method
- Oil a baking sheet and push a lolly stick (or trimmed chopstick) into each apple at the stalk end.
- Melt the granulated sugar in a medium-sized pan over a medium heat. As it begins to melt, gently swirl it around the pan.
- Once all the sugar has melted, carefully tip in the almonds and combine, again by swirling the pan. Remove from the heat.
- Dip the apples into the caramel one at a time, turning them to ensure they are well coated. Leave them to cool for a few minutes on the prepared baking sheet, then transfer to a platter and serve.
