Preparation of Apples

Wash and Dry Apples
Wash the Granny Smith apples thoroughly under cold running water to remove any wax or residue. Pat them dry with a clean towel.

Insert Sticks
Insert a wooden stick into the top of each apple, ensuring it’s secure enough to hold the apple when dipped in caramel.
Making Caramel

Melt Sugar and Butter
In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and butter. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture melts and begins to turn golden brown.

Add Heavy Cream
Carefully add the heavy cream while stirring continuously. The mixture will bubble up; continue to stir until smooth and well combined.
