Start by warming a saucepan over medium heat.

Add 2 cups sugar and 1/2 cup water to the pan and stir to combine.

Allow the mixture to boil without stirring until it caramelizes and turns brown.

Prepare the apples by inserting popsicle sticks into the steam end of each apple, pushing them in just enough to make them stable.

Once the sugar has caramelized, carefully pour in 1 cup of cold cream and watch it bubble up.

After the bubbling settles, remove the pan from heat and stir in 1 cup of peanut butter until smooth and silky.

Quickly roll each apple in the peanut butter caramel, ensuring they are well coated.

Roll the caramel-coated apples in chopped peanuts for added texture and flavor.

Place the coated apples on a prepared sheet of parchment paper to set.

If the caramel thickens too much, rewarm it gently over low heat to maintain the texture.
