Next, mix the apples with sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and lemon juice.
Heat butter in large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.*
Add apples and sautee for 10 minutes, until softened.
Pour in all but ½ cup of the salted caramel sauce, stirring to combine.
To make the topping:
Place pretzels in small food processor and pulse until finely chopped, but not pulverized.

Drizzle remaining caramel over top and serve with ice cream.
