Caramel Apple Dessert Cups Recipe

Instructions:

  1. Cook the apples:
    • In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter.
    • Add diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice.
    • Cook for 5–7 minutes until apples soften and caramelize slightly. Let cool.
  2. Prepare the crust layer:
    • Mix crushed graham crackers with melted butter until crumbly.
    • Spoon a layer into the bottom of serving cups or jars.
  3. Make the creamy filling:
    • In a bowl, fold whipped cream into pudding for a light, fluffy texture.
  4. Assemble the cups:
    • Add a layer of the graham cracker crumbs.
    • Spoon in creamy pudding mixture.
    • Add a layer of caramelized apples.
    • Drizzle with caramel sauce.
    • Repeat layers if desired.
  5. Top it off:
    • Finish with whipped cream, chopped pecans, and a caramel drizzle.

🌟 Tips:

  • For extra crunch, sprinkle crushed toffee bits or granola between layers.
  • Swap vanilla pudding with cream cheese filling for a cheesecake-like twist.
  • Serve chilled for the best flavor.

Would you like me to also give you a no-bake party-sized version of this dessert (in a big dish instead of cups)? That way you can serve a crowd more easily.
