Ingredients

  • 4 Large Apples(remove stems)

  • 1 Jar of Date Syrup

  • 150 g Chopped Walnuts

Directions

  1. Prepare the Tray: Line a baking tray with parchment paper, and place the chopped walnuts in a small bowl.

  2. Wash the Apples: Rinse the apples in hot water to remove any waxy coating, then dry thoroughly with a tea towel. This helps the syrup stick better.

  3. Insert the Sticks: Push a lolly-pop stick into the center of each apple, about halfway through.

  4. Heat the Date Syrup: Pour the date syrup into a small saucepan and slowly bring it to a boil. Once it starts bubbling, reduce the heat immediately and let it simmer for 2 minutes. Then, remove from heat.

  5. Coat the Apples: When the syrup stops bubbling, dip an apple into the syrup, holding it by the stick. Use a spoon if needed to fully coat the apple with a smooth, glossy layer of syrup.

  6. Add the Nuts: Roll the syrup-coated apple in the chopped walnuts, ensuring an even coating.

  7. Chill: Place the coated apples on the lined tray and refrigerate for at least 1 hour until the syrup sets.

  8. Enjoy: Your date syrup toffee apples are ready to serve!
