📝 Preparation Steps
1
To prepare the apples, thoroughly rinse the cold apples, and wipe well to remove the wax coating. Remove stem. Using a caramel apple stick, carefully push the stick into the apple, about 3/4 of the way. Place apples on a parchment-lined baking sheet with a baking rack.
2
To make the caramel, in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, brown sugar, corn syrup, butter, and salt. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon until butter is melted.

Using a pastry brush dipped in water, brush the sides of the pan and place a candy thermometer into the mixture, ensuring it does not touch the bottom of the pan. Without stirring, allow the mixture to cook until mixture reaches 235 degrees, about 20 to ⏱️ 25 minutes. Remove from heat and gently stir in vanilla. Do not over-stir. Allow mixture to cool and thicken, about 10 to ⏱️ 15 minutes.

To dip the apples, working one apple at a time, hold the apple by the stick, dip the apple into the caramel mixture, and thoroughly coat using a twirling motion. If using toppings, roll the apple into the topping.
