Salted Carmel Apples

• 2 c sugar
• 1 1/2 sticks butter at room temp
• 1 c heavy cream at room temp
• 1 T high quality sea salt flakes
• 6 apples washed
• 1 c crushed walnuts, mini marshmallows or crushed almonds
• 6 sturdy craft sticks

1. Pour sugar in sauce pan in an even layer. Turn burner to medium and heat sugar for 4 or 5 min. Do not touch or stir the sugar. Watch very carefully it will liquefy suddenly and turn golden brown. When sugar is completely liquified, remove from heat. Let cool for 30 seconds, then quickly stir in butter, cream and salt. Transfer the sauce to a large bowl and refrigerate until cool.
2. Butter a baking sheet for the caramel apples to sit on. Put each topping in a shallow dish. Roll each apple through the cooled caramel, then through desired topping. Place on the buttered sheet. Refrigerate to let Carmel set.
