Toffee Apple And Honey Trifle Food

TOFFEE APPLE AND HONEY TRIFLE

Steps:

• Prepare the various layers of the trifle so they are all ready to assemble together.
• Slice the pound cakes down the middle length-wise, then slice each loaf into 10-12 slices, resulting in 20-24 cubes per loaf, a maximum of 48 cubes.
• Saute the apples in the butter until soft.
• Add the cinnamon and mix well to coat all the apple slices.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the whipping cream, cream cheese, honey and vanilla pudding.
• Toss the Skor bits into the food processor and whirl until finely chopped.
• Now assemble the trifle in a large clear bowl with straight (ish) sides.
• This makes a large quantity so you may have up to three layers.
• First lay down a layer of cake cubes Then cover with the sauteed apples.
• Then cover with a generous layer of whipped cream.
• Then sprinkle with a layer of ground Skor bits.
• Repeat the layers until all the ingredients have been used up, ending in a layer of Skor bits.
• Note: I actually had more cake than necessary, so I had a layer of cake and cream in the middle before starting over with another layer of cake.

HOMEMADE TOFFEE APPLES

Steps:

• Place the apples in a large bowl, then cover with boiling water (you may have to do this in 2 batches). This will remove the waxy coating and help the caramel to stick. Dry thoroughly and twist off any stalks. Push a wooden skewer or lolly stick into the stalk end of each apple.
• Lay out a sheet of baking parchment and place the apples on this, close to your stovetop. Tip the sugar into a pan along with 100ml water and set over a medium heat. Cook for 5 mins until the sugar dissolves, then stir in the vinegar and syrup. Set a sugar thermometer in the pan and boil to 150C or 'hard crack' stage. If you don't have a thermometer you can test the toffee by pouring a little into a bowl of cold water. It should harden instantly and, when removed, be brittle and easy to break. If you can still squish the toffee, continue to boil it.
• Working quickly and carefully, dip and twist each apple in the hot toffee until covered, let any excess drip away, then place on the baking parchment to harden. You may have to heat the toffee a little if the temperature drops and it starts to feel thick and viscous. Leave the toffee to cool before eating. Can be made up to 2 days in advance, stored in a dry place.

TOFFEE APPLES

Steps:

• Push a wooden cocktail stick into each apple core, making sure they are secure. Put the sugar and water in a large heavy-based saucepan, with a sugar thermometer attached, and heat gently until dissolved.
• Add the remaining ingredients and bring to the boil.
• Boil until the temperature reaches the soft crack stage 143 C (290 F), when a little of the syrup dropped into cold water separates into hard but not brittle threads.
• Brush down the sides of the pan occasionally with a pastry brush dipped in cold water.
• Do not stir.
• Dip the apples into the toffee, twirl around for a few seconds to allow excess toffee to drip off, then leave to cool and set on a buttered baking sheet or waxed paper.
• Do not keep for more than 1 day.
