CARAMEL APPLE CRISP BITES RECIPE - (4.2/5)



Caramel Apple Crisp Bites Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by smclane

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cup graham cracker crumbs (I used store bought in a can. I find these to work the best)
12 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 cup powdered sugar
4 cups peeled, cored and chopped apples (we used golden delicious)
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 1/4 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Caramel topping (store bought!)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees 2. Grease pan with non-stick butter spray 3. Melt butter 4. In a medium size bowl mix graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar and butter with a spoon (slowly add the butter and evenly distribute Some people have found the crust recipe to work perfect, while some others found the 12 tablespoons of butter was way to much and the butter started to pool - you may want to start by using 1/2 C butter (1 stick vs. 1 1/2 sticks, or 12 T) Melt the butter and add slowly to the crumbs, a little bit at a time, making sure it's not too wet. You can always add more or save the leftover butter for later. You want a soft dough that sticks together slightly when you try to form a ball, not a wet dough. 5. Evenly distribute mixture to the 24 mini muffin cups. Press along the bottom and sides to make a "cup" 6. Bake for 5 minutes and let cool completely 7. Chop the apples into little pieces - I used a mini food processor. Don't puree, just finely chop 8. Mix apples, sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg in a bowl 9. Bake in a baking dish for 15 minutes on 375 degrees, until apples are slightly softened 10. Scoop a teaspoon or so of the apple mix and place on top of the graham cracker crust cups (while still in the muffin pan) 11. Sprinkle any extra graham cracker on top of the apples (I had some left over!) 12. Bake for 5 minutes on 350 13. Let cool completely 14. Use a knife to loosen from pan and they should pop right out 15. Drizzle with caramel topping

1/3 c sugar
1/3 c chopped nuts
DOUGH
1 stick butter softened
1/4 c confectioners sugar
1/4 c brown sugar, firmly packed
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
2 c flour
TOPPING
1 pkg (14 oz) caramels
2/3 c evaporated milk
1 c walnuts
green tooth picks

Steps:

  • 1. In a small saucepan, combine filling ingredients. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened; set aside to cool. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in egg. Beat in vanilla. Combine flour and salt. Gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Shape dough into 1-in. balls. Flatten and place 1/4 teaspoon filling in center of each. Fold dough over filling and reshape into balls. Place 1 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool.

Insert a toothpick into each cookie and dip into caramel until completely coated; allow excess to drip off. Dip bottoms into nuts. Place on wire racks to set. Yield: about 3 dozen.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples: Different apples have different flavors and textures, so using a mix will give your caramel apple bites a more complex flavor. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Fuji.
  • Don't overcook the caramel: If you overcook the caramel, it will become too hard and brittle. Cook it just until it reaches a medium amber color and has a slightly smoky smell.
  • Let the caramel cool slightly before dipping the apples: If the caramel is too hot, it will melt the apples. Let it cool for a few minutes until it is just warm enough to coat the apples.
  • Use a variety of toppings: Toppings are a great way to add extra flavor and texture to your caramel apple bites. Some good options include chopped nuts, sprinkles, or crushed graham crackers.
  • Make sure the apples are cold before serving: This will help the caramel harden and prevent it from melting.

Conclusion:

Caramel apple bites are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover apples, and they are always a hit with kids and adults alike. With a few simple tips, you can make sure your caramel apple bites are perfect every time. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy dessert, give caramel apple bites a try.
