Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 9×13 pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Lightly spray with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl cream together butter, sugar, and powdered sugar. Add vanilla and beat until combined. Mix in the flour and combine until it forms a soft dough.
- Press half of the dough in the bottom of a 9×13 dish and place the other half of the dough into the refrigerator. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven and melt the caramels, heavy cream, and ½ teaspoon vanilla in the microwave for 1 minute. Stir together until smooth. Stir in the chopped apples. Pour evenly over the hot crust. Lightly sprinkle the coarse sea salt over the crust. I didn’t end up using the entire Tablespoon. I just lightly sprinkle it evenly on top. You don’t want them too salty.
- Take the remaining dough out of the refrigerator and crumble it over top of the caramel. Return the pan to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the filling is bubbly and the top is firm. Let them cool completely before cutting.
