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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Cook the mixture for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the apples are soft and caramelized. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Repeat the layers if the shot glasses are tall enough, finishing with a final swirl of bourbon cream on top.

Step 9

Garnish with a small sprinkle of additional oat topping or a pecan, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
