  1. Made this for a Thanksgiving potluck...Nothing left of it and I bought the family size Sara Lee cake and an 1/2 can extra of apple pie filling. (could only find the apple pie filling and not the cinnamon and spice) However, in the ice cream topping section found a Smucker's topping that was apple cinnamon and I combined it with the carmal topping. Topped it with cool whip, caramel and toffee. Will definitely make this again. It was a HIT.. Made me look like Martha Stewart!!! Thanks...
     
  2. Really good desert. I used plain apple pie filling and it turned out great. I made it for a party and it disappeared quickly.
     
  3. This was so yummy.....everyone had seconds and they all wanted the recipe...
     
  4. Absolutely wonderful! I made this trifle for Easter this year and out of 15 guests, everybody tried it and some even had seconds and thirds. I couldn't find that size of pudding mix so had to use two smaller ones and 4 cups of milk. I used skim milk and the pecans instead of toffee bits and the trifle was prepared 2 days in advance. There were no leftovers for us to enjoy the next day!!
     
  5. Yummy! I made this with a Sara Lee buttered pound cake and Heath toffee bits. With the Cool Whip,pudding and apples what's not to love? Thanks!

  2. YUM!!!! I made this tonight. My whole family loved this. The only different I did was to add chocolate covered toffee bits, used angel food cake instead of pound cake and added chopped pecans on top. I didn't have enough cool whip so I whipped up some cream. Delish! Will definetly make again. This recipe looks terrific in trifle bowl.
