- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 8 small red apples of choice, chilled

- Lower heat to medium while stirring constantly.
- When mixture registers 260 F on a candy thermometer, remove pan from heat and stir in vanilla.
- Carefully place the pan in a large bowl of ice water. (Be careful not to get water in the caramel or it won’t stick to the apples.)
- Take an apple by the stick and dip into the caramel, tilting the saucepan to coat the apple.
- Dip into toppings if desired then place on parchment paper or in silicone cupcake liners.
- Work quickly with the rest and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
