In a medium-sized pot, combine the granulated sugar and water over medium-low heat.

Whisk the mixture until the sugar completely dissolves. This should take about 1-2 minutes.

Stop whisking and gently swirl the pot, allowing the sugar mixture to cook for approximately 5-6 minutes until it reaches a dark amber caramel color. Do not stir during this stage.

Carefully add the cubed butter to the hot caramel. The mixture will foam up significantly.

Whisk continuously until the butter is fully incorporated and the caramel becomes smooth.

Turn off the heat. Pour in the heavy whipping cream. The mixture will foam up again.

Continue whisking until the cream is thoroughly combined with the caramel, ensuring any separated butter is emulsified back into the sauce.

Transfer the finished caramel sauce to a measuring cup. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Allow the caramel to cool down slightly before serving, about 5-10 minutes, to reach a pourable consistency.

While the caramel cools, prepare the apples by coring and slicing them into even wedges.

Arrange the fresh apple slices in a serving bowl.
Generously drizzle the prepared warm caramel sauce over the apple wedges.

Finally, sprinkle the chopped pecans on top for added flavor and texture. Serve immediately.
