Saffron, rose water and pistachio toffee apples
Arabic 5 Mins Prep · 10 Mins Cook
- Line a baking tray with baking paper and lightly coat it with nonstick spray.
- Wash and dry the apples, then skewer them through the centre and set aside on the baking sheet.
- Dissolve the saffron in the rose water in a small bowl.
- To make the toffee, bring the sugar, glucose, honey and water to a boil in a medium-sized saucepan fitted with a thermometer over a medium heat. Stir frequently to dissolve the sugar. Swirl occasionally (do not stir once the sugar has dissolved), until the thermometer registers 145°C (approx. 5 minutes).
- Swirl in the butter and salt and cook until the thermometer registers 150°C (approx. 2 minutes). Whisk in the bicarbonate of soda, then the rose water mixture (the toffee will bubble at first but then look smooth and creamy).
- Immediately dip the apples into the caramel mixture and place on the baking sheet.
- Roughly chop the pistachios and coarsely grind the dried rose petals. Sprinkle over the apples.
- Allow to cool then serve.
