bourbon caramel

- While the caramel is cooling, stir together the mascarpone cheese, sugar and vanilla extract until combined and smooth. Spread it in an 8 or 9-inch pie dish. Place it in the fridge for 30 minutes. By this time, the caramel should be close to room temperature. Pour the caramel on top of the mascarpone layer and place it back in the fridge for 1 hour.
- After 1 hour, sprinkle the cashews on top. Add a sprinkle of cinnamon. Drizzle on the extra caramel if you'd like. Serve with sliced apples!
