Here's a variation of caramel apples, but with a butterscotch-walnut flavoriing. Simple and delicious.

DIRECTIONS

Wash and dry apples; insert wooden sticks. Combine sugar, corn syrup, and cream in a large saucepan. Cook rapidly, stirring constantly, to 245° (firm ball stage). Remove from heat at once.
