Caramel Apple Dessert Cups are a delightful layered treat featuring tender, caramelized apples combined with fluffy whipped cream and a drizzle of rich caramel sauce. This no-bake dessert is perfect for a quick, comforting sweet finish to any meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Apple Mixture

  • 3 cups peeled and chopped apples
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Other Ingredients

  • 4 cups whipped cream
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare Apple Mixture: In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the peeled and chopped apples, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and caramelized, which should take about 8-10 minutes.
  2. Cool the Apples: Remove the skillet from heat and allow the caramelized apples to cool slightly, ensuring they are warm but not hot before layering.
  3. Assemble Dessert Cups: In individual dessert cups, layer the caramelized apples with whipped cream, alternating to create appealing layers.
  4. Add Caramel Sauce: Drizzle caramel sauce generously over the top of each assembled dessert cup for added sweetness and flavor.
  5. Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate the dessert cups for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld and to serve them cool and refreshing.

Notes

  • You can use Granny Smith or Fuji apples for the best texture and flavor.
  • For extra crunch, sprinkle chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts on top before serving.
  • If preferred, substitute store-bought whipped cream with homemade whipped cream for a fresher taste.
  • Ensure the caramel sauce is at room temperature for easy drizzling.
  • These dessert cups are best served within 24 hours for optimal freshness.
