Caramel Apple Trifle is layers of cider donuts, caramel sauce, apples, and pudding! A total fall dream dessert topped with whipped cream!
So today is Tuesday. I kinda think it’s the most boring day of the week. It’s not universally hated, like Monday. There is no way that the Bangles would have had a hit record with “Just another Tragic Tuesday”.
Tuesday doesn’t have the honor of being called “Hump Day”…which, now that we’re on the subject, is hugely inappropriate. Who even says that besides radio DJs and awkward grocery store cashiers who are trying to create a dialogue as they scan your Golden Grahams?
Next is Thursday. Everyone loves Thursday because, well, it’s almost Friday. And then there’s Friday, who even got it’s own restaurant.
Yeah, Tuesday is the sophomore year of the days of the week. Completely forgettable. So I am going to deem today “Trifle Tuesday”. Sure, they’re retro and grandma-ish, but the possibilities are endless.
So come on now and get your trifle on like it’s 1985…Trifle Tuesday ~ it’s happening.
This Caramel Apple Trifle is easy. It’s basically layering anything yummy you want all in one dish and calling it a dessert.
Here’s what I used:
*not pictured caramel sauce and Whipped Topping*
I started with Apple Cider Donuts…
I cut them up and lined the bottom of the trifle dish.
I plopped some custard on top of the donuts then topped that with oatmeal cookies that I chopped up.
Drizzle some caramel on top of that.
Then top that with some cake. I made Duncan Hines Decadent Apple Caramel Cake, but you could use pound cake or yellow cake or white cake or vanilla cake. Look, just as long as it’s cake, mmmkay?
Spread some apple pie filling on top of that…
and then plop some more custard on and more oatmeal cookies…
There’s no exactness to this. Relax people…you don’t have to measure. Embrace it.
Now top it all off with some Whipped Topping and some more caramel.

Strange that I didn’t get my email regarding Tuesday until Wednesday which confused me as to what day of the week we are on now……but can relate to the feeling of Tuesday as a forgetable day!
Then there was that trifle….. to die for…..looks so good could just grab it off the screen and eat it! Thanks you made me hungry.
I also went over and liked Easy Canvas Prints on Facebook for another chance :o)
This says Fall all over it! I love trifles because you literally just throw anything and everything together. I look forward to Tuesdays and your email. I will be putting this together for the weekend. I would enjoy a canvas print of my family! Thanks for making me smile! Nita
