For a deeper, more complex flavor, try using brown butter in place of regular butter. A pinch of flaky sea salt sprinkled on the dipped apples adds a delightful contrast to the sweetness of the caramel. If the caramel becomes too thick while cooling, gently reheat it over low heat, stirring constantly, until it reaches the desired consistency.
