I always love the arrival of apple season as it brings with it such warm and wonderful fall flavors, and baking these caramel apple cups fills the kitchen with joyful aromas.

Apple, cinnamon, caramel… they warm your heart before you even take a bite.

Since they’re so easy to make, you’ll have them in your belly before long too!

Caramel Apple Cups

Ingredients for this apple dessert with biscuits

  • refrigerated buttermilk biscuits (oversized)
  • butter
  • apple
  • sugar 
  • cinnamon
  • brown sugar
  • heavy whipping cream
  • powdered sugar

How to make caramel apple biscuits cups

Start by cutting up a package of refrigerated biscuits into pieces, and you need those oversized biscuits, not the little wimpy ones. Stir in chopped apples, melted butter, sugar and cinnamon and spoon into muffin cups.

Oooo, this is gonna be good.

Now bake those babies.

While the caramel apple cups are baking, prepare the caramel apple glaze on the stove.

When the dessert cups are done baking, drizzle the glaze over the top and serve while still warm.

If you can’t serve them while warm, don’t panic! They’ll still taste great… it’s just that warm apples and cinnamon are always a special treat. Plus, you can pop them in the microwave for a few seconds if you want to recapture some of that magic.

    Thank you for the delicious, yet quick and easy, recipe. The 20 minute bake time flew by while making the topping. I did not “drizzle”, instead, I fully covered the muffin tops in the wonderfully sweet caramel sauce.

    What a great way to use refrigerated buttermilk biscuits! These look absolutely delicious! Do you know how they would do with homemade buttermilk biscuits? I sometimes buy biscuits, but also often make my own.

    You’re right, warm apples and cinnamon do warm the heart. I’d like these hot or cold, but I highly suspect it’s the warm version that would curl my little toes. 🙂
