For the Apple Filling

  • dessert cups

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by placing a skillet on the stove over medium heat. Add a tablespoon of butter and allow it to melt completely, swirling gently to coat the bottom of the pan evenly.
  2. Once the butter is melted, add in the peeled and chopped apples. Sprinkle in some brown sugar and ground cinnamon, stirring the mixture well. Cook for about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the apples soften and become beautifully caramelized.
  3. After cooking, carefully remove the skillet from the heat and let the apple mixture cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
  4. Grab your favorite dessert cups and begin layering. Start by spooning in a generous portion of the caramelized apple mixture at the bottom. Then, top it off with a fluffy dollop of whipped cream.
  5. Drizzle rich caramel sauce over the whipped cream layer, allowing it to cascade down the sides of the dessert.
  6. Once assembled, place the dessert cups in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
