Wash apples and place on a plate
Insert popsicle stick into apple where the stem is
Add butter and honey to a small sauce pan
Heat over medium-low heat until butter melts and mixture just starts to bubble
Reduce heat to low and stir mixture for 6 - 10 minutes until it starts to thicken and darken
Remove from heat
Allow to cool for a minute
Stir in vanilla
Spoon caramel mixture over top of apples so it runs over
Use a spatula to spread more caramel over uncovered parts of the apple
If you are adding any extra toppings like nuts or coconut, sprinkle them on quickly before caramel hardens
