Ingredients 1 ingredient

  1. 1 teaspoon of corn syrup

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Core apples.
  2. Cut just through the skin around the center of the apple.
  3. Fill the center with popcorn and 1 teaspoon of corn syrup.
  4. Bake 30 minutes.
