Ingredients:
3 cups Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and finely diced
⅓ cup light brown sugar, packed
3 tablespoons salted butter
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups crushed vanilla wafers
¼ cup salted butter, melted and cooled
3.4 ounces instant vanilla pudding mix
1¼ cups cold whole milk
¾ cup salted caramel sauce, divided (¼ cup and ½ cup)
1 cup cold heavy whipping cream
Directions:
Make The Apple Mixture: Heat the apples, brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon until the apples have softened and the brown sugar sauce has thickened to canned apple pie filling consistency. Stir in ¼ cup of salted caramel sauce. Allow the apples to cool completely.
Coat The Cookie Crumbs: Stir together the crushed cookies and melted butter to coat. Add the buttered crumbs to the bottom of each cup.
Prepare The Pudding: Mix together the milk and instant pudding until the pudding begins to thicken. Mix in the remaining caramel sauce and heavy cream until the mixture has thickened.
Create Your Cups: Pipe the pudding on top of the buttered crumb crust, about ⅔ of the way full, and cover with the cooled, cooked apples.
Serve: Place the lids on the cups and keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
