Ingredients
  

2 cups graham cracker crumbs

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 large apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), diced

1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Whipped cream (for topping)

Extra caramel sauce (for drizzling)

Chopped nuts (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and brown sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.

    Make the Cream Cheese Filling: In a separate mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add the confectioners’ sugar and vanilla extract. Mix until creamy and well-combined.

      Prepare the Apples: In another bowl, toss the diced apples with lemon juice, ground cinnamon, and half of the caramel sauce. This will enhance the flavor of the apples and prevent browning.

        Assemble the Cups: In serving cups or small jars, start with a layer of the graham cracker mixture at the bottom, followed by a layer of the cream cheese filling. Next, add a layer of the caramel-coated apples. Repeat the layers until the cups are filled, finishing with a layer of apples on top.

          Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the assembled cups for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. When ready to serve, top each cup with a generous dollop of whipped cream, an extra drizzle of caramel sauce, and a sprinkle of chopped nuts if desired.

            Enjoy these delightful No-Bake Caramel Apple Pie Cups as a sweet treat for any occasion!
