Ingredients
Scale
Caramelized Apples
- 3 cups peeled and chopped apples
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon butter
Assembly
- 4 cups whipped cream
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the caramelized apples: In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the peeled and chopped apples, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Cook while stirring occasionally until the apples become tender and caramelized, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Cool the apples: Remove the skillet from heat and allow the caramelized apples to cool slightly to avoid melting the whipped cream during layering.
- Layer dessert cups: In individual dessert cups, alternate layers of caramelized apples and whipped cream to create a visually appealing and flavorful combination.
- Add caramel drizzle: Drizzle the caramel sauce generously over the top layer of whipped cream for an extra touch of sweetness.
- Chill before serving: Refrigerate the assembled dessert cups for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld and to serve them nicely chilled.
Notes
- Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a nice balance against the sweetness.
- For a vegan version, substitute butter and whipped cream with plant-based alternatives.
- Make sure apples are cooked until tender to enhance softness in the dessert.
- Can be prepared a few hours ahead and refrigerated for convenience.
- If desired, garnish with chopped nuts or a sprinkle of cinnamon before serving.
