Caramel Apple Dessert Cup 🍎🍯🥛

 

🍲Ingredients:

⠀

For the Caramel Apples:

⇒ 3 cups Granny Smith apples, peeled and finely diced

⇒ ⅓ cup light brown sugar, packed

⇒ 3 tablespoons salted butter

⇒ 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

⇒ ¼ cup salted caramel sauce

⠀

For the Crust & Pudding:

⇒ 2 cups crushed vanilla wafers

⇒ ¼ cup salted butter, melted and cooled

⇒ 3.4 oz instant vanilla pudding mix

⇒ 1 ¼ cups cold whole milk

⇒ ½ cup salted caramel sauce

⇒ 1 cup cold heavy whipping cream

⠀

📝Directions:

⠀

Cook Apples: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine

apples, brown sugar, 3 tbsp butter, and cinnamon. Stir

frequently for 7–9 minutes until apples soften and sauce

thickens. Stir in ¼ cup caramel sauce. Cool completely.

⠀

Crust: In a small bowl, mix vanilla wafer crumbs and ¼

cup melted butter until coated. Press 2 teaspoons of the

mixture into the bottom of each dessert cup and tamp

down firmly.

⠀

Pudding Filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together the

milk and instant pudding mix until it begins to thicken

(about 2–3 minutes). Stir in the remaining ½ cup of

caramel sauce.

⠀

Whip: Add the cold heavy cream to the pudding. Using a

handheld mixer, beat for 3–4 minutes until the mixture is

thick enough to hold its shape.

⠀

Assemble: Pipe the pudding filling into the cups, filling

them about ⅔ full. Top each with 2 teaspoons of the

cooled caramel apples.

⠀

Set: Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before

serving. These can be stored in the fridge for up to 3

days.
