Caramel Apple Trifle

Colossal Caramel Apple Trifle Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 package (18-1/4 ounces) yellow cake mix
  • 6 cups cold milk
  • 3 packages (3.4 ounces each) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 teaspoon apple pie spice
  • 1 jar (12-1/4 ounces) caramel ice cream topping
  • 1-1/2 cups chopped pecans, toasted
  • 2 cans (21 ounces each) apple pie filling
  • 2 cartons (16 ounces each) frozen whipped topping, thawed

Directions

  • Prepare and bake cake according to package directions, using two greased 9-in. round baking pans. Cool for 10 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
  • In a large bowl, whisk milk, pudding mixes and apple pie spice for 2 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes or until soft-set.
  • Cut one cake layer if necessary to fit evenly in an 8-qt. punch bowl. Poke holes in cake with a long wooden skewer; gradually pour a third of the caramel topping over cake. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup pecans and spread with half of the pudding mixture.
  • Spoon one can of pie filling over pudding; spread with one carton of whipped topping.
  • Top with remaining cake and repeat layers. Drizzle with remaining caramel topping and sprinkle with remaining pecans. Refrigerate until serving. Yield: 42 servings (3/4 cup each).
I have not made this yet. I plan to this fall season...but here are a few thoughts before hand

Kid Helper:
  • Make the pudding
  • Kids love layering!
  • Have the child taste test each layer and describe it using new words: fluffy, sweet, crunchy, delishissss- vocab lesson?
  • * Watch kiddos around nuts! I will probably omit them as no one in my family likes nuts and they are choking hazards for the kids.

  • 42 Servings
  • Prep: 40 min.
