Make the caramel sauce by melting together caramels and water in a bowl for 30 seconds. Stir and microwave for 30 more seconds. Stir and microwave 5-10 more seconds.
Add the heavy whipping cream and stir until everything is combined and pourable. Set aside.
Using a hand or stand mixer beat cream cheese and brown sugar together for 2 minutes. Add the vanilla and continue mixing until everything is smooth. Scrape the bowl and beat one more time.
Add the cream cheese mixture on bottom and spread out creating a well in the middle.
Pour the caramel sauce on top and top with peanuts and flaky salt.
Serve with Granny Smith apple slices and pretzel crisps.
