Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces Granny Smith apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 3 tablespoons Bourbon
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 cup Rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Pecans (chopped, optional)
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add diced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and 2 tablespoons of bourbon.
Cook the mixture for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the apples are soft and caramelized. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Meanwhile, in a small mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, all-purpose flour, pecans (if using), 1 tablespoon of butter, and a pinch of salt. Mix using your fingers until the mixture forms a crumbly texture.
Spread the oat mixture on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden and crispy. Remove and let cool completely.
To prepare the bourbon cream, use an electric mixer or whisk to beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon of bourbon, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to assemble.
To assemble the shooters, layer the caramelized bourbon apples at the bottom of shot glasses or small dessert cups. Add a layer of crispy oat topping, followed by a dollop of bourbon cream.
Repeat the layers if the shot glasses are tall enough, finishing with a final swirl of bourbon cream on top.
Garnish with a small sprinkle of additional oat topping or a pecan, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
