Preparation Steps

• Prepare Cinnamon Apples: In a saucepan, combine peeled and chopped apples with brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Cook over medium heat until the apples soften and the liquid thickens, then set aside to cool.
• Make Crust: In a bowl, mix the vanilla wafer crumbs and melted butter until fully combined. Distribute the mixture into 28 plastic cups, pressing down firmly to create a solid crust.
• Prepare Mousse: Whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and milk in a separate bowl, then chill for 5 minutes. Stir in the salted caramel sauce, and whip in the heavy cream with an electric mixer until thick and creamy—this should take about 3-5 minutes.
• Assemble Cups: Pipe or spoon the mousse onto the crust layer, then add a generous layer of cooled cinnamon apples, finishing with a drizzle of the extra caramel sauce on top.
• Chill & Serve: Cover the dessert cups and chill until you're ready to serve them. They can be made right before serving or stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
