Apple Pie Cups

Ever get a hankering for apple pie but don't have hours to spend making one? These Apple Pie Cups are perfect for you! And really anyone, because who doesn't love apple pie?! These not only deliver as a serious treat, but they’re also incredibly simple to prepare. I started by sautéing the apples and baking the apple cutouts in the afternoon and then assembling the dessert that night after dinner. You could certainly serve the sweet buttery apples warm, but at room temperature the ice cream doesn’t melt as fast.
