Instructions

Start boiling water for preparing apples.
In a saucepan, combine sugar, warm water, glucose, and vinegar; heat and stir to dissolve sugar without boiling.
Increase heat and boil the toffee to 270°F (140°C), or until a dropped sample solidifies in cold water but remains slightly flexible.
While the toffee boils, place apples in a bowl and cover with the boiling water for a few minutes, then remove, rub dry, remove stems, and insert sticks.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Remove toffee from heat and let stand for 5 minutes until bubbles subside, then stir in food coloring.
Working quickly, dip apples into the tilted toffee, twirling to coat fully, let excess drain, then place on the lined baking sheet to set for at least 20 minutes.
If toffee thickens during coating, gently rewarm without boiling; for storage, wrap cooled toffee apples in cellophane.
