Step-by-Step Instructions
Making Caramel Apple Crisp Bites is simple and fun!
1. Prepare the Crust: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and grease a mini muffin pan with non-stick spray. In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and melted butter. Note: Some may find that using 12 tablespoons of butter is too much; consider starting with ½ cup (1 stick) and adding more as needed until you achieve a soft dough that holds together.
2. Form the Cups: Evenly distribute the mixture into the 24 mini muffin cups, pressing it firmly along the bottom and sides to create a cup shape. Save a little mixture for topping if desired. Bake for 5 minutes until slightly golden, then let cool completely.
3. Prepare the Filling: Chop the apples into small pieces (a food processor works well, but avoid pureeing). In a bowl, mix the chopped apples with brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Bake in a baking dish at 375 degrees for 15 minutes until the apples soften.
