Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees 2. Grease pan with non-stick butter spray 3. Melt butter 4. In a medium size bowl mix graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar and butter with a spoon (slowly add the butter and evenly distribute Some people have found the crust recipe to work perfect, while some others found the 12 tablespoons of butter was way to much and the butter started to pool - you may want to start by using 1/2 C butter (1 stick vs. 1 1/2 sticks, or 12 T) Melt the butter and add slowly to the crumbs, a little bit at a time, making sure it's not too wet. You can always add more or save the leftover butter for later. You want a soft dough that sticks together slightly when you try to form a ball, not a wet dough. 5. Evenly distribute mixture to the 24 mini muffin cups. Press along the bottom and sides to make a "cup" 6. Bake for 5 minutes and let cool completely 7. Chop the apples into little pieces - I used a mini food processor. Don't puree, just finely chop 8. Mix apples, sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg in a bowl 9. Bake in a baking dish for 15 minutes on 375 degrees, until apples are slightly softened 10. Scoop a teaspoon or so of the apple mix and place on top of the graham cracker crust cups (while still in the muffin pan) 11. Sprinkle any extra graham cracker on top of the apples (I had some left over!) 12. Bake for 5 minutes on 350 13. Let cool completely 14. Use a knife to loosen from pan and they should pop right out 15. Drizzle with caramel topping

Tips:
- Choose the right apples: Use firm, tart apples that hold their shape well when baked, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp.
- Use a quality caramel sauce: A good caramel sauce will make all the difference in the flavor of your apple bites. Look for a sauce that is thick and creamy, with a rich caramel flavor.
- Don't overcook the apples: The apples should be tender but still slightly firm when you bite into them. Overcooked apples will be mushy and bland.
- Let the apple bites cool completely: This will help the caramel sauce to set and the apples to firm up.
- Serve the apple bites at room temperature or chilled: Both ways are delicious, so choose whichever you prefer.
Conclusion:
Caramel apple bites are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover apples, and they are always a hit with kids and adults alike. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of caramel apple bites that will be enjoyed by all.
