Once at 240°F, add heavy cream and salt to the mixture.

Bring the mixture back to a boil and cook for 2-3 minutes.

If you don't have a thermometer, boil the mixture for 4-5 minutes instead.

Pour the caramel into a bowl and let it cool for about an hour.

While the caramel cools, prepare the apples by inserting a sturdy stick into each apple.

To clean the wax off the apples, place them in simmering or boiling water for 1-2 minutes.

Remove the apples from the water and let them dry.

Once the caramel has cooled and thickened, dip each apple into the caramel or pour the caramel over the apple.

Allow excess caramel to drip off the apple.

Place the caramel-coated apple on a tray or plate.

Optionally, garnish the caramel apple with favorite candies.
