Trifle recipes are great for serving desserts at potlucks or whenever you need to feed a crowd. This toffee apple trifle recipe is filled with toffee bits, caramel, and all those flavors reminding you of an old fashioned apple pie.
This week when I needed a dessert to take to our choir rehearsal dinner, I immediately pulled out a trifle bowl to make this toffee apple trifle dessert. It’s such an easy recipe to throw together and by layering it in the trifle bowl, you’re able to get a lot of dessert in one bowl to feed a crowd. Plus, it tastes delicious. The base is made of yellow cake and caramel so it’s really moist. Then, there’s a layer of apple pie pudding that I think really makes the dessert special. There is also a layer of apples and whipped topping, of course. Then you top the whole thing with a good sprinkling of toffee bits to give it a little candy crunch.
Let’s just say that this trifle recipe is a big bowl of apple goodness. Here’s how I like to make mine.
Toffee Apple Trifle Recipe
Ingredients
1 regular size box yellow cake mix
6 cups cold milk
3 boxes (3.4 oz each) instant vanilla pudding mix
1 teaspoon apple pie spice
1 jar caramel topping
1 1/4 cups toffee bits
2 cans (21 oz. each) apple pie filling
16 ounces frozen whipped topping, thawed
Directions
Bake the cake according to the box directions in two 9 inch round cake pans. Allow the cakes to cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, pudding mix, and apple pie spice for 2 minutes and then let it stand for another 2 minutes until the pudding is soft-set.
Cut one of the cakes to fit nicely in the bottom of the trifle bowl and then poke holes throughout the cake with a wooden skewer.
Pour 1/2 cup of caramel topping evenly over the entire surface of the cake. Then sprinkle with 1/2 cup of toffee bits and then cover with a layer of the pudding mixture.
Next, spread one can of the apple pie filling over the pudding mixture and top with a layer of whipped topping.
Using the remaining cake, repeat the layers and top with a drizzling of caramel and toffee bits.
Keep refrigerated until ready to serve. Enjoy!
