A velvety cream infused with warming chai spices like cinnamon, cardamom, and ginger is poured into baked apple cups for a stunning, make-ahead treat. Each bite is silky, lightly spiced, and tastes like a chai latte met caramel apple pie. Elegant enough for entertaining but easy enough for a weeknight, this impressive dessert celebrates the very best flavors of autumn.
