- To make caramel sauce: Spread sugar evenly into the bottom of a heavy duty stainless steel sauce pan, Pour in water, and heat over medium heat without stirring.
- Bring to a boil. The sugar will begin to bubble and dissolve. If any undissolved sugar remains, gently swirl the pan to help it dissolve.
- Watch for the color to change from clear to golden amber, the caramel should begin to slightly smoke then deepen to a reddish-brown color.
- Once it reaches the reddish-brown color, immediately remove from heat, and stir in remaining ingredients. Stir with a clean heat-proof spatula or wooden spoon until smooth.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Boil perogies and stir occasionally for 6 mins. Drain and divided into 4 dessert bowls. Top each with apples and drizzle with caramel sauce.
- Once remaining caramel has cooled, you can pour into a glass container, cover and refrigerate.
