THE TOFFEE APPLE
The Toffee Apple or Candy Apple (U.S.A) are delicious apples covered with a hard crunchy toffee and served on the end of a stick. They are usually made for the winter festivals, especially on November 5th which is Guy Fawkes Night or Bonfire night. This is probably due to the fact that it is the apple harvest anyway. They are eaten during the autumn months and even during winter. If a travel fair comes to town there will always be Toffee Apples as well as many other delicious things to eat.
There is a great page by Jamie Oliver with this great tradition recipe if you want to give it a go but please be careful. Hot sugar can cause serious burns, make sure children and pets are kept away while you try your hand at making Toffee Apples.

I had forgetton about this. I remember eating them as a children and I loved the sweet crunchiness with the tartness of the fresh apple. Yummy I think I will try and make some using the link you gave. Thank you
