2 Cups Sugar
1/4 Cup Light corn syrup
1/2 Cup Apple cider
1/2 Cup Heavy cream
2 Tablespoons Unsalted butter
1 teaspoon Vanilla
Pinch of salt
toppings of your choice I used cinnamon chips, chopped pecans and melted white chocolate
6 Macintosh Apples

Line a cookie tray with parchment paper and lighly spray with cooking oil. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan combine sugar, corn syrup and apple cider. Whisk until just combined. Bring to a boil over medium high heat and cook without stirring for 8-10 minutes or until liquid turns a deep amber color and registers 320 Degrees F on a candy thermometer.
Remove from heat and slowly whisk in cream. ( A little at a time or it will boil over) Then add the butter, vanilla and a pinch of salt. Return to heat and stir until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool until it's thick enough to coat the surface of a spoon.
While you're waiting for caramel to cool wash about 8 apples and remove stems. Insert a popsicle stick or lollipop stick in the side where the stem was.
Dip apple into caramel and twirl to coat apple. Lift the apple out and let the excess caramel drip off. Then roll in topping.
Place on parchment lined cookie tray.
