Cook in a pre-heated grill, covered, over medium-high heat for 15 to 20 minutes until apple is softened and bacon is crisp. Insert popsicle sticks at the top of each apple then refrigerate. In a pan over medium heat, combine and cook to a simmer the brown sugar, milk, butter, corn syrup, bourbon and vanilla extract. Remove from heat and allow to thicken. Dip grilled apples in the caramel and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
