How to Make Apple Caramel Sundae Tart

  1. Place 1 cup caramels and 3 tablespoons milk in a medium microwave-safe bowl.
  2. Microwave on high for 1 minute, or until caramels are melted. Stir until completely smooth. Reserve 1/3 cup of the caramel mixture.

  4. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup milk and 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix for 2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
  5. Gently fold in 1 cup whipped topping into the pudding mixture.
  6. Spoon the pudding mixture into the prepared pie crust over the caramel and pecans.
  7. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  8. Once frozen, spoon 1 1/2 cups prepared apple pie filling (recipe not included, use your favorite recipe or store-bought) over the pudding layer.
  9. Warm the reserved 1/3 cup caramel mixture in a small microwave-safe bowl on high for 30 seconds, or until smooth and pourable.
  10. Drizzle the warm caramel sauce over the apple pie filling.
  11. Serve immediately and enjoy this irresistible dessert!
