Toffee Apples

I'd always wanted to make these, even though I don't know anyone who likes them! In the spirit of Halloween, these are dead easy.
Ingredients
Toffee Apples
250g Demerara Sugar
110ml Water
1/2 tsp Malt Vinegar
2x tsp Golden Syrup
Method
Scrub the apples using boiling water, then remove the stalks; dry well, then push wooden skewers in to the stalk end.
Heat the water and sugar until dissolved, then add the vinegar and syrup.
Boil the mixture until thick and syrupy, then dip each apple in, turning to fully coat, letting any excess toffee run off before placing the apple on some baking parchment to set.
Take care not to burn the toffee, as you can see in the image, the darker apples were dipped last when the toffee had started to burn.
