Swedish Apple Pie Cups With Date Caramel Sauce
Individual cups are filled with pieces of apple that are coated in cinnamon and maple syrup with a crispy crust on top. They are perfect for a holiday or any day dessert.
It’s officially fall, and the holidays are almost upon us, can you believe that? Fall also means that it’s time for apple pie! I’m not sure if this pie is really Swedish or not, but it’s my kind of pie. No dough to be rolled out, it’s just an easy to make topping that is spread over top and seeps down into the apple mixture while it bakes. It’s like apple cobbler meets apple crisp with a caramel-y topping. A single cup of deliciousness.
Swedish apple pie has always been a sure sign of fall to me. Once apples were in season, my mother would be making applesauce and apple pie. Her version wasn’t as healthy though, she used refined sugar and white flour, both of which are ingredients I NEVER use.
I changed up her traditional Swedish apple pie by making it healthy and serving it in little cups topped with date caramel. I sweetened the pies naturally with maple syrup and coconut sugar. I used almond meal instead of flour to make them gluten-free. The date caramel topping adds just enough sweetness and blends well with the apples and cinnamon. This is really is one of the easiest apple pies to make.
