Ingredients
3 cups peeled and chopped apples
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon butter
4 cups whipped cream
1/2 cup caramel sauce
Instructions
Cook the Apples
In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
Add Flavor
Stir in the chopped apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
Caramelize
Cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until apples are tender and slightly caramelized.
Cool Slightly
Remove from heat and allow the apple mixture to cool for a few minutes.
Layer the Dessert Cups
In serving cups, add a layer of caramelized apples followed by a layer of whipped cream. Repeat layers if desired.
Finish with Caramel
Drizzle caramel sauce generously over the top.
Chill Before Serving
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Notes
Granny Smith apples add a nice tart contrast to the sweet caramel.
Add crushed graham crackers or granola for extra texture.
For a richer version, mix a little cream cheese into the whipped cream.
Best served chilled within 24 hours for optimal freshness.
