Indulge in the layered decadence of Salted Caramel Apple Pie Trifle Cups, where velvety caramel cream meets spiced apple filling. Each spoonful offers a delightful contrast of textures, from the crunchy graham cracker base to the smooth, rich caramel, creating a symphony of flavors that dance on your palate.

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Apple Filling:
    • 4 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
    • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
    • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
    • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
    • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • For the Caramel Cream:
    • 1 cup heavy cream
    • 1/2 cup salted caramel sauce
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the Crust:
    • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
    • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
    • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a bowl, combine diced apples, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Mix well and set aside.
  3. In a saucepan over medium heat, cook the apple mixture for about 10 minutes until the apples are tender. Remove from heat and let cool.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and brown sugar until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of serving cups to form a crust.
  5. In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the salted caramel sauce and vanilla extract until smooth.
  6. Layer the trifle cups starting with the graham cracker crust, followed by the apple filling, and then the caramel cream. Repeat the layers until the cups are filled.
  7. Drizzle additional salted caramel sauce on top of each cup for garnish.
  8. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
