6 servings
- 6 medium granny smith apples
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- ½ cup light corn syrup
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ¼ tsp fine salt
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- ½ cup finely chopped toasted pecans or peanuts (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Wash and thoroughly dry the apples — any moisture will cause the caramel to seize and slide off. Remove the stems and press a wooden craft stick firmly into the stem end of each apple until secure. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease the parchment with butter or nonstick spray.

Combine the brown sugar, butter, corn syrup, heavy cream, and salt in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon or heat-safe spatula until the butter melts and the sugar fully dissolves, about 3–4 minutes.
