Cinnamon & Brown Sugar

I use less sugar in my recipes because I find that the fruit is sweet enough on its own. But if you like things on the sweeter side, by all means, try some brown sugar. Just remember if you add sugar it may caramelize in the oven, so if you add too much it will be very sweet.

You can also add a few ground cloves or nutmeg to the cinnamon-sugar mixture. I like to keep things simple, but feel free to experiment!

What are some other toppings I can use?

In addition to the traditional ice cream, there are a few other toppings that would be delicious on these crustless apple pie cups.
