How to Draw a Toffee Apple · tinyhandscreate.com
Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch this oval. It only shows where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase it at the end.
Step 2: The apple shape
Draw a big round shape like a slightly squished circle, a little wider than it is tall. Add a small dip at the top in the middle and a gentle dip at the bottom.
Step 3: The stick
Start at the dip in the top middle of the apple. Draw two straight lines going up and join them with a rounded end, like a long skinny pill.
Step 4: The leaf
Next to the stick, draw a curved line that swoops up and out to a point, then curve back down to the apple to make a leaf shape. Add a short line inside from the base toward the tip for the middle vein.
Step 5: The toffee drips
Draw a wavy line across the apple from the left side to the right side. Make some waves hang down low like long drips and others short and bumpy.
Step 6: The shiny spot
Near the top left of the apple, draw a short curved line that follows the shape of the apple. Add a tiny dot below it to show where the light shines.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a toffee apple
- Sketch the apple as a light, squished circle first. It is the biggest part, so it helps to get its size right before anything else.
- Draw the toffee line in one slow, wiggly motion. Make the drips different lengths so it looks like real melted toffee.
- Start the leaf right where the stick meets the apple, and draw the outer curve before the vein so the leaf stays in shape.

Toffee apple fun fact for kids
Toffee apples, also called candy apples, are a treat at fairs and fall festivals. They are made by dipping a whole apple on a stick into hot melted sugar, which cools into a hard, shiny shell.
Questions about drawing a toffee apple
What shapes do I need to draw a toffee apple?
Start with a big squished circle for the apple, a long skinny rectangle with a rounded top for the stick, and a pointy oval for the leaf. The drips are just a wavy line across the apple.
How do I make the toffee drips look real?
Make some drips long and some short, and round off the bottom of each one like a little teardrop. Drips that are all the same size look stiff, so mix them up.
How do I make my toffee apple look shiny?
Add a small curved line and a tiny dot near the top left of the apple. Leave the inside of those marks white or light when you color, and the apple will look glossy.
