# Steps:
01 -
Heat a medium pot over a low flame. Toss apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon together. Stir occasionally and let it all simmer till the apples soften and the mix gets syrupy. Leave it to cool.
02 -
Blend melted butter with the crumbled wafers in a bowl until they combine nicely. Split this mix across 28 small 2-ounce clear cups and press into a base layer.
03 -
Whisk instant pudding powder with cold milk for a smooth consistency. Let it chill in the fridge for 5 minutes.
04 -
Stir the salted caramel sauce into the pudding mix. Use a hand mixer set to medium to make it silky.
05 -
Whip heavy cream into the caramel-pudding base for 3 to 5 minutes until it becomes thick and fluffy.
06 -
Scoop the caramel mousse into a piping bag. Pipe a layer of mousse over the crumb base in each cup.
07 -
Spoon the cinnamon apples onto the mousse layer. If you want, drizzle a bit more caramel sauce on top. Secure lids to the cups and chill in the fridge.

You can keep these chilled for up to 3 days or dig in right away!
# Notes and Tips:
01 -
For even crust layers, using a mini cookie scoop works well.

Make sure the mousse is whipped thick so the desserts stay firm.
