📝 Preparation Steps
1
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, combine cream and honey. Bring to a simmer.
2
Insert a candy thermometer and let simmer until the temperature reaches 260°F (127°C). This will take about ⏱️ 35-45 minutes but you have to wait or your caramel won't set. You can stir the caramel as it simmers so it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot.
3
While the cream and honey are simmering, prepare the apples: press a popsicle stick into the stem end of the apples, place on a parchment-lined pan, and set aside until ready to dip.
