    5. Combine the cream, anise, ground ginger, cloves, cinnamon sticks, and nutmeg in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let steep for at least 20 minutes. Strain the mixture into a clean small saucepan and heat over low heat until it resembles caramel. In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, water, and vinegar over high heat and cook, without stirring, until a deep amber color is reached, about 8 minutes. Slowly add the cream mixture and stir. Pour half of the caramel over the apples and mix. Let stand, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes. Add the remaining caramel.
