In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1–2 tablespoons butter. Add the apple chunks and a pinch of cinnamon, if using, and sauté for 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are just tender but still hold their shape. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
To make the caramel sauce, combine sugar and the remaining butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until the mixture melts and turns golden-brown (take care as this can burn quickly). Slowly add the heavy cream, stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Remove from heat.
In a dry skillet, toast the chopped walnuts for 3–4 minutes, stirring frequently until golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
Place a generous scoop of Breyers Natural Vanilla Ice Cream in each bowl. Arrange the sautéed apple pieces around the ice cream, then drizzle the warm caramel sauce.
Sprinkle the toasted walnuts over each sundae.
Serve immediately.
