Ingredients
  

2 medium-sized apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and diced

1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 cup crushed graham crackers

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

½ cup whipped topping (or whipped cream)

¼ cup chopped pecans (optional, for crunch)

Extra caramel sauce for drizzling (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apples: In a medium bowl, combine the diced apples with lemon juice, cinnamon, and half of the caramel sauce. Mix well to ensure that apples are coated. Set aside to marinate for about 10 minutes.

    Make the Graham Cracker Base: In a separate bowl, mix the crushed graham crackers and melted butter until thoroughly combined. The mixture should resemble wet sand.

      Assemble the Cups: In serving cups or glasses, layer the ingredients. Start with a generous tablespoon of the graham cracker mixture at the bottom of each cup, pressing it down lightly to form a base.

        Add Apple Mixture: Spoon a layer of the caramel-coated apple mixture over the graham cracker base, distributing evenly among the cups.

          Add Whipped Topping: Top the apples with a dollop of whipped topping, smoothing the surface.

            Final Layer: Add another layer of the graham cracker mixture, followed by more apple topping.

              Garnish and Drizzle: Sprinkle chopped pecans on top for added texture, and drizzle with extra caramel sauce if desired.

                Chill: For the best flavor and to help the layers set together, refrigerate the assembled cups for at least 30 minutes before serving.

                  Serve: Remove from the refrigerator and serve chilled. Enjoy your delightful No-Bake Caramel Apple Pie Cups!
