Zubereitung von Taffy Apples
- Grease a baking sheet liberally with butter.
- Gently insert a wooden stick or skewer into the top of each apple.
- In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 2 cups granulated sugar and 1/2 cup water.
- Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar completely dissolves and the mixture begins to simmer. Do not stir excessively, as this can cause crystallization.
- Add 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar, 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon white vinegar, and 1/4 cup heavy cream to the saucepan. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches the soft-crack stage (290°F on a candy thermometer). This will take about 10-15 minutes. Be careful, as the mixture will be very hot.
- Carefully remove the pan from the heat. Let it stand for a minute or two.
- Dip each apple into the taffy mixture, turning to coat completely. Immediately place the coated apple onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Allow the taffy to cool and harden completely before serving (at least 30 minutes).
- (Optional) Package your taffy apples attractively with colorful plastic wrap and ribbon.
