Equipment
- Mini Muffin Tin
- Mixing Bowls
- Spatula
- Peeler & Knife
Ingredients
Crust
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 12 tbsp butter melted
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
Filling
- 4 cups apples peeled, cored & chopped
- 0.33 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 2.25 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 0.5 tsp cinnamon
- 0.25 tsp nutmeg
Topping
- caramel sauce store-bought, for drizzling
- flaky sea salt optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin generously.
- In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and powdered sugar until combined. Press about 1 tbsp into each muffin cup and shape along the sides.
- Bake crusts for 5–6 minutes, then let cool slightly.
- In another bowl, toss chopped apples with granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Let rest 5 minutes.
- Spoon apple mixture into each crust, gently pressing down and leaving a little space at the top.
- Bake for 15–18 minutes, until apples are soft and filling is bubbling. Loosely cover with foil if crust darkens too quickly.
- Cool for 10 minutes. Carefully remove from tin and drizzle with warm caramel. Sprinkle sea salt if desired.
Notes
Chop apples finely, use firm varieties, and pre-bake crust for best results. Store bites airtight and drizzle caramel just before serving.
