Caramel Apple Dessert Cups
These sweet and creamy caramel apple cups taste just like the famous cafe version you love.
recipesbynani.comIf you have ever visited a Zupas cafe, you know exactly how delicious their signature dessert cups are. These treats are the perfect mix of tart apples, rich caramel, and a sweet, crunchy topping that keeps everyone coming back for seconds.
My favorite thing about this recipe is how easy it is to put together when you need a crowd pleasing dessert in a hurry. Just make sure to use firm apples so they hold their shape perfectly once mixed with the creamy filling.
