Caramel Apple Cake Cups

Caramel Apple Cake Cups

These layered Caramel Apple Cake Cups bring together a buttery graham crust, creamy cheesecake filling, rich caramel, and cinnamon-spiced apples in a fun, mess-free dessert perfect for parties and cozy nights alike.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 medium apples, peeled and diced
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce

Instructions

  1. Mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until combined, then press into the bottoms of small cups or jars.
  2. Beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form, then fold into the cream cheese mixture.
  3. In a saucepan, cook diced apples with brown sugar and cinnamon over medium heat for 8–10 minutes until tender. Let cool.
  4. Layer cheesecake filling over the crust, drizzle caramel, then spoon on the cooled apple mixture. Repeat layers if space allows.
  5. Top each cup with a final drizzle of caramel and a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
  6. Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

  • Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a flavor contrast.
  • Make the apple topping ahead so it cools before layering.
  • A piping bag helps create neat layers of filling.
  • These are perfect for make-ahead party desserts.
