Notes
- For storage, keep the dessert cups covered in the refrigerator for up to a day, but for best flavor and texture, enjoy them fresh.
- If you have leftovers, gently reheat the caramel sauce in the microwave for a few seconds to drizzle over the chilled dessert cups before serving.
- For an extra touch, consider serving these dessert cups with a scoop of vanilla ice cream alongside for a delightful contrast of temperatures and textures.
- To enhance the flavor, try adding a pinch of nutmeg along with the cinnamon for a warm, spiced aroma that perfectly complements the apples and caramel.
