This dish is not only delicious but also easy to make, making it perfect for any occasion, whether it's a family dinner, a party, or simply a personal treat. Preparation time: 30 minutes Cooling time: 30 minutes Total time: 1 hour Number of servings: 4 Ingredients For the cream cheese: - 300 ml heavy cream - 300 g cream cheese - 50 g powdered sugar - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract For the apple mixture: - 1 kg sweet and sour apples - 2 tablespoons sugar - 1 teaspoon cinnamon For the caramel sauce: - 2 tablespoons sugar - 50 g butter Preparation 1. Preparing the apples Start by peeling the apples, removing the skin and core. Cut them into equal-sized cubes so they cook evenly. Place the apple cubes in a bowl and add sugar and cinnamon. The sugar will help the apples release their juice and become more flavorful. Helpful tips: Choose sweet and sour apples, such as Granny Smith or red apples, to achieve a pleasant flavor contrast. 2. Cooking the apples Place the pot over medium heat and stir occasionally. Allow the apples to cook until they start releasing their juice and become soft, about 10-15 minutes. Use the back of a spoon to mash them slightly, but do not turn them completely into puree – it's good to leave some whole pieces for texture. Once the apples are ready, remove the pot from heat and let them cool. 3. Preparing the caramel sauce In another pot, add the two tablespoons of sugar and place it over medium heat. Let the sugar caramelize, being careful not to burn it, as it will become bitter. When it turns golden, add the butter and stir well until completely melted, creating a smooth sauce. This will add a luxurious note to your dessert. 4. The cream cheese In a bowl, whip the heavy cream until it becomes firm. In another bowl, mix the cream cheese with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. Then, gently fold in the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to obtain a light and fluffy composition. Reserve a few tablespoons of whipped cream for decoration. 5. Assembling the dessert Start layering the dessert in glasses. Add a spoonful of cream cheese, followed by a spoonful of caramelized apples and a teaspoon of caramel sauce. Continue with another layer of cream, apples, and sauce until the glasses are filled. This layering will create an appealing look, as well as a contrast of textures and flavors. 6. Decorating Finally, decorate each glass with the reserved whipped cream and a few drops of caramel sauce on top. You can also add a few slices of fresh apple or caramelized nuts for an extra touch of texture and aesthetics. Serving suggestions This dessert in a glass is best served cold, straight from the fridge. It can be accompanied by a cup of coffee or a fragrant tea to balance the sweetness. Another wonderful idea is to serve it alongside vanilla ice cream to enhance the flavors. Nutritional benefits This dessert is not only tasty but also packed with nutrients. Apples are rich in fiber and vitamin C, while cream cheese provides protein and calcium. Using a moderate amount of sugar makes this dessert a healthier option than many others. Vegan option If you want a vegan version of this dessert, you can replace the cream cheese with a cashew or silken tofu alternative, and the heavy cream with a coconut-based whipped cream. The caramel sauce can be made with brown sugar and coconut oil. Frequently asked questions - Can I use other types of fruit? Absolutely! This dessert also works well with other fruits, such as pears or peaches, offering you a variety of flavors. - How long can it be stored in the fridge? The dessert keeps well in the fridge for 2-3 days, but we recommend adding the whipped cream and caramel sauce just before serving to maintain the crunchy texture. This dessert in a glass with apples, cream cheese, and caramel sauce is a simple yet impressive recipe that will surely bring a smile to anyone who tastes it. Take your time to enjoy every step of the preparation and savor the final result – a true delight!
