Steps

Prepare Apples

Peel, core, and slice the apples into approximately 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) thick wedges. Set them aside in a bowl.

Make Caramel

In a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, melt the granulated sugar. Do not stir until it begins to melt and turns an amber color, which takes about 8-10 minutes. Be careful, as caramel is very hot!

Finish Caramel

Once the sugar is a beautiful amber, remove it from the heat and carefully add the butter, stirring constantly until melted. Then, slowly pour in the warm heavy cream while continuously stirring. Add the sea salt and optional vanilla extract. Return to low heat and stir for 1-2 minutes until the caramel is smooth and uniform.

Combine and Serve

Add the apple slices to the warm caramel and gently toss to coat each slice with the sauce. Serve immediately warm, or at room temperature. Enjoy on its own or with vanilla ice cream.

Extra Tips

► When making caramel, avoid stirring the sugar until it starts to melt to prevent crystallization.

► Warm the heavy cream before adding it to the caramel to prevent splashing from a sudden temperature change.

► Experiment with different apple varieties to find your favorite, but always choose firm, tart apples.
