Makes 6 sundaes

Caramel Sauce

¾cup granulated sugar

¼ teaspoon table salt

¼cup water (enough so that the consistency when mixed with the sugar and is similar to wet sand)

1tablespoon light corn syrup

1/3 cup heavy cream

3tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into ½-inch cubes

Apples

3-4 small apples, peeled, cored and cut into ½-inch wedges

1teaspoon fresh lemon juice

½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

2tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

3tablespoons granulated sugar

1teaspoon ground cinnamon

3cups vanilla ice cream

In a medium-size, heavy bottomed saucepan, stir together the sugar, salt, water and corn syrup. Be sure to clean the inside walls of the pan if there is any sugar on the sides (a clean, wet pastry brush works best). Set over medium-low heat and cook until the sugar mixture turns a very light amber color (about 10 to 15 minutes). Once the sugar mixture has come to the light amber color, take off of stove and slowly stir in the cream. After the cream has been incorporated, slowly whisk in the butter, one piece at a time, continually whisking to emulsify until all the butter has been added. Reserve.
