Boil for about 12 minutes, until it’s at the soft-crack stage (138°C on a sugar thermometer, or test a little in cold water: it should form threads that bend a little before breaking).

Push the lolly sticks into the tops of the apples. Dip the apples into the hot caramel, turning to coat (be careful as the caramel will be extremely hot). Add the sprinkles and glimmer sugar. Leave to set on a tray lined with baking paper for 15 minutes.
