Caramel Apple Dessert Cups Recipe

by

Ingredients

  • 2 large apples (peeled, cored, diced)
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional)
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce
  • 1 pack graham crackers (crushed, about 1 cup)
  • 2 tbsp melted butter (for crust)
  • 1 cup whipped cream (or whipped topping)
  • Optional: chopped pecans or walnuts for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare Apple Filling
    • In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
    • Add diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook for 5–7 minutes until apples are tender and caramelized. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  2. Make the Crust Layer
    • Mix crushed graham crackers with melted butter.
    • Spoon a layer of this mixture into the bottom of serving cups.
  3. Assemble the Cups
    • Add a spoonful of apple mixture over the crust layer.
    • Drizzle with caramel sauce.
    • Add a layer of whipped cream.
  4. Repeat Layers (if using larger cups) until filled.
  5. Finish & Serve
    • Top with more caramel drizzle and optional chopped nuts.
    • Serve immediately or chill for 30 minutes for a cold treat.

Would you like me to make this a no-bake version with pudding/cream cheese filling (like mini cheesecakes) or keep it as a light apple-caramel parfait style?
