Ingredients
  

2 large apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), diced

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1/2 cup whipped cream or Cool Whip

1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Extra caramel sauce for drizzling on top

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apples: In a medium mixing bowl, toss the diced apples with fresh lemon juice and ground cinnamon. This will help prevent the apples from browning and enhance their flavor. Set the mixture aside to let the flavors blend while you prepare the crust.

    Make the Crust: In a separate bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter. Stir the mixture thoroughly until all the crumbs are evenly coated in butter, creating a moist, crumbly texture.

      Layer the Cups: Start assembling your cups by adding approximately 2 tablespoons of the graham cracker crust mixture to the bottom of each serving cup. Use the back of a spoon to press down gently, forming a solid base for your dessert.

        Add the Apples: Spoon a generous layer of the prepared apple mixture over the graham cracker crust in each cup. Follow this with a tablespoon of caramel sauce, drizzling it evenly over the apples for added sweetness.

          Repeat Layers: Continue layering the ingredients by adding another layer of the graham cracker crust, followed by a layer of apples, and another drizzle of caramel sauce. Repeat this process until you reach the top of the cups. Aim for 2 to 3 layers, depending on the size of your cups and your preference.

            Top it Off: Finish each cup by piping or spooning a dollop of whipped cream on top. For added texture and flavor, sprinkle with chopped pecans or walnuts if desired.

              Final Drizzle: For a delightful finishing touch, drizzle additional caramel sauce over the whipped cream. This will create a beautiful and tempting presentation.

                Chill and Serve: Cover the cups with plastic wrap or lids and place them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the ingredients to set and the flavors to meld together. Once ready, enjoy your delightful No-Bake Caramel Apple Pie Cups!
