Steps:
- Stir white sugar, brown sugar, half-and-half, butter, corn syrup, cream of tartar, and salt together in a large, greased saucepan over medium-low heat until caramel mixture boils. Reduce heat to low; cook without stirring until caramel reaches 240 degrees F (115 degrees C) on a candy thermometer, or until a small amount dropped into cold water forms a soft ball, about 25 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Line a baking sheet with greased parchment or greased wax paper.
- Insert a caramel apple stick into the middle of each apple. Dip each apple into caramel mixture and turn until fully coated. Place apples on prepared baking sheet until caramel cools completely.

Tips:

- Use a candy thermometer: This will help you get the toffee to the right temperature.
- Be careful when working with hot toffee: It can easily burn you.
- Work quickly: The toffee will start to set quickly, so you need to work fast to coat the apples.
- Be patient: It takes time for the toffee to harden, so don't be tempted to eat the apples right away.
