1
CARAMEL SAUCE
2
Add sugar and water in heavy bottomed pan.
3
Stir until water is incorporated; add extra tsp. of water if needed. Turn heat up to high and stir only once. If sugar crystals begin to form, take a pastry brush and wipe edges.
4
When sugar starts to turn amber, remove from heat and add butter quickly.
5
Stir the butter until sauce is consistent. Use extreme caution in this step as a hot reaction is brewing in the pot.
6
Pour cream in and keep stirring, using caution.
7
Stir salt in and set aside to cool.

APPLE SAUTÉ
9
Peel and core apples; dice into medium size cubes. Toss apples with brown sugar, cinnamon, cardamom, and nutmeg.
10
Melt butter in a medium size sauté pan on low to medium heat.
11
Add diced apples after butter is melted, turn heat up to medium. Be sure to scrape bottom of pan a few times with spatula to prevent scorching.
12
The apples are finished when the butter and sugar begin to caramelize (usually 5-10 minutes).
13
