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.

i would so much love to get a large canvas of my two children, one of which is away at college and we only get to see him 5 days out of the yr, as he goes away also in the summer to intern in different staes each yr. So a print of him with his sister would hang nicely over our fireplace.

I’m all over trifle Tuesday – especially if they look like this!!

Oh My Goodness!!
First of all – I hate Tuesdays too. So I love the idea of jazzing it up some as Trifle Tuesday!
Second – Holy Smokes does this look yummy!! I’ve been making trifles lately for potlucks and family get togethers (because they’re so easy and so yummy). I can’t wait to try this one out.
Third – Thanks for the recommendation of Easy Canvas Prints. I’ve been thinking of doing something like this for my mother for the holidays just wasn’t sure which to use (I totally went and “Liked” their FB page btw).
Thanks bunches!
