Steps:
- Prepare the cinnamon roll dough and filling according to the recipe instructions.
- Add the apples and lemon juice to a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second increments, until the apples are softened and limp.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9 x 13-inch (22x33 cm) baking dish with butter.
- Roll the dough into a large rectangle about ½-inch (1.24 cm) thick. Straighten the corners with a bench scraper to make sure they are sharp and even.
- Spread the filling evenly over the dough, then arrange the apple slices on top, leaving about ¼ inch (6 mm) between each slice. Try to keep your slices in straight rows, it's okay if the tips of the apple slices touch or overlap.
- Starting from a short end, roll the dough into a log and pinch the seam closed. Place the log seam-side down and trim off the uneven ends. Using unflavored dental floss or a sharp knife, cut the log into even pieces, each about 1½ inches (3 ½ cm) thick. Place the rolls in the prepared baking dish, cover with a kitchen towel, and set in a warm place for 35-45 minutes, until expanded in volume by about 50%. If not baking immediately, skip this step, cover with plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months.
- Bake the cinnamon rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 10 minutes.
- While the cinnamon rolls bake, make the salted caramel sauce: Add the sugar to a small saucepan and cook over medium heat, swirling the pan occasionally but not stirring, until it starts to turn amber brown, 5-6 minutes.
- Add the butter and stir in until incorporated, 1-2 minutes..
- Slowly drizzle in the cream and whisk to combine. Boil for 1 minute, then remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and flaky salt. Let cool and thicken slightly before using.
- Pour the salted caramel sauce over the cinnamon rolls, then serve.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Dip apples into boiling water briefly, using a slotted spoon, to remove any wax that may be present. Wipe dry, and set aside to cool. Insert sticks into the apples through the cores.
- Line a baking sheet with waxed paper and coat with cooking spray. Place the unwrapped caramels into a microwave-safe medium bowl along with 2 tablespoons of water. Cook on high for 2 minutes, then stir and continue cooking and stirring at 1 minute intervals until caramel is melted and smooth.
- Hold apples by the stick, and dip into the caramel to coat. Set on waxed paper; refrigerate for about 15 minutes to set.
- Heat the chocolate with 1 tablespoon of shortening in a microwave-safe bowl until melted and smooth. Dip apples into the chocolate to cover the layer of caramel. Return to the waxed paper to set.
- Melt the candy melts in the microwave with the remaining shortening, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Use a fork or wooden stick to flick colored designs onto your apples for a finishing touch. Refrigerate until set, overnight is even better.

Tips:
- Use a variety of apples. Different apples have different flavors and textures, so using a mix will give your caramel apples a more complex flavor. Some good choices include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
- Make sure the apples are cold. This will help the caramel harden quickly and prevent it from running off the apples.
- Use a good quality caramel. The caramel is the star of the show, so make sure you use a good one. You can either make your own or buy a good quality store-bought caramel.
- Be careful not to overcook the caramel. Overcooked caramel will be too thick and difficult to work with.
- Dip the apples in the caramel quickly and evenly. This will help to prevent the caramel from getting too thick on the apples.
- Sprinkle the apples with your favorite toppings while the caramel is still wet. This will help the toppings to stick to the apples.
- Let the caramel apples cool completely before eating them. This will allow the caramel to harden and set.
Conclusion:
Caramel apples are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can make perfect caramel apples every time. So get creative and have fun!
