Start by washing and drying your apples, then remove the stems and insert the popsicle sticks into the tops. Set aside on a lined baking sheet. In a medium saucepan, combine the white sugar, brown sugar, butter, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil.
