If you search Caramel Apple on our site you will find a plethora of awesome recipes, such as my favorite Caramel Apple Donuts, Caramel Apple Cinna-minis, Caramel Apple Dip, and much more! Why you ask? Well because in my opinion {caramel + apples = one of the BEST flavor combos EVER}! It always has been my favorite and it probably always will be. These Caramel Apple Cups fit into that category and did not disappoint. They are a wonderful “mini” pie of sorts. With a delicious graham cracker crust, sweet apple pie filling, and topped with a smooth caramel drizzle. YUM!
Over at Princess Pinky Girl she baked them in mini cupcake pans. I didn’t have them available so I went with regular sized. I tweaked this recipe slightly to work and they were perfect. Making sure to bake your crusts a little before filling them, they are the perfect cup to hold the apple goodness! Another wonderful recipe for one of our favorite times of the year! FALL!
- 1½ cups GRAHAM CRACKER CRUMBS
- 10 Tablespoons BUTTER, melted
- ⅓ cup POWDERED SUGAR
- 3½ cups peeled, cored and chopped APPLES (I used a food processor but you can just chop them)
- ⅓ cup SUGAR
- ¼ cup BROWN SUGAR
- 2¼ tablespoons FLOUR
- ½ teaspoon CINNAMON
- ¼ teaspoon NUTMEG
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease pan with non-stick spray. Combine melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, and powdered sugar in a bowl. Evenly distribute mixture to the 12 greased muffin cups. Press along the bottom and sides to make a “cup”. Bake for 5 minutes and let cool completely.
- In a baking dish, mix apples, sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg. Bake for 15 minutes, until apples are slightly softened. Scoop the apple mix and place on top of the graham cracker crust cups (while still in the muffin pan). Bake for 5 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool completely and remove from pan. Drizzle with caramel topping. ENJOY!
