Caramel Apple Dessert Cups

Ingredients

Cinnamon Apples

  • 4 cups apples peeled and chopped
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Caramel Apple Dessert Cups

  • 2 cups vanilla wafer crumbs
  • ¼ cup salted or unsalted butter melted
  • 1 pkg instant vanilla pudding mix 3.4 ounces
  • 1 cup milk
  • ⅓ cup salted caramel sauce homemade or store bought
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream
  • additional caramel sauce for garnish

Instructions

    • In a medium saucepan, combine peeled and chopped apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir and cook over medium heat until the apples are soft and the liquid thickens. Set aside to cool.
    • In a mixing bowl, combine vanilla wafer crumbs and melted butter. Stir until fully incorporated.
  • Portion vanilla wafer crumbs into 28 – 2 ounce plastic cups. I recommend using a small cookie scoop. Use the back of one of the plastic cups to press the crumbs down to create the crust.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine instant vanilla pudding mix and milk. Whisk to combine. Chill for 5 minutes.
  • Add salted caramel sauce to the vanilla pudding mixture. Use an electric hand mixer on medium speed to mix the caramel into the pudding until smooth.
  • Pour in heavy cream and whip the mixture with an electric hand mixer for 3-5 minutes until it becomes thick and smooth.
  • Transfer the caramel mousse mixture to a large piping bag. Pipe the mousse into the plastic cups on top of the vanilla wafer crust.
  • Using a spoon, portion the cinnamon apples over the caramel mousse. Drizzle with additional caramel sauce if desired.
  • Seal the cups with a lid and chill. The cups can be served immediately or stored in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days.
