Mini Caramel Apple Cups

I've always loved apples and peanut butter. I also love creating/art. One evening, my brain somehow created this idea of a mini apple cup in my head, so I quickly went to the kitchen and set out to make that idea a reality. Once the "apple cup" had been created, I knew I had to share it on Instructables.

Enjoy reading and don't forget to check out my other Instructables!

1. Apples (large)
2. Peanut butter and/or caramel
3. A kitchen knife
4. Toothpicks
5. A small spoon
6. A cutting board

Take your kitchen knife and cut the apple into 4 pieces. It's important to cut deep enough into the apple so your cup will be big enough, however it's even more important that you use larger apples so your apple cups can be full-sized.

Take your 4 pieces of apple and cut off the skin. You are welcome to use a vegetable peeler if you want, but a knife should work just fine. Once the skin is removed, cut them into a square-like shape.

Take your knife and carve a cup-like shape into the apple square. Leave enough room for the handle as well. Now take a toothpick, and carve the handle. Once finished with that, carve the cup part and use your knife to remove the insides. Repeat this with the other 4 apple squares until they all look like cups.

You will have to be really careful when using your toothpick, or else you could break the handle or accidentally put a hole into the bottom of the cup. This is why I had an extra apple ready to use just in case.

Now that all your mini apple cups are finished, you can fill them with peanut butter or caramel! I personally prefer caramel, but either works great.

You can now serve and enjoy this delicious snack!
