How to Make Caramel Apple Trifle

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups milk and 1 (3.4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix for 2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
  2. Set the pudding aside to thicken slightly.
  3. Cut a 10 ounce pound cake into 1-inch cubes.
  4. Cut the apples in the apple pie filling into small pieces if desired (some fillings already contain small pieces).
  5. Place half of the pound cake cubes in the bottom of a trifle dish or large glass bowl.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup caramel topping evenly over the cake layer.
  7. Sprinkle 1/4 cup toffee bits over the caramel.
  8. Spread half of the pudding mixture over the toffee bits, ensuring it reaches the sides of the trifle dish for an elegant look.
  9. Spoon half of the apple pie filling over the pudding layer.
  10. Spread half of the whipped topping evenly over the apple pie filling.
  11. Repeat layers: cake, caramel topping, toffee bits, pudding, apple pie filling, whipped topping.
  12. Drizzle the remaining caramel topping and toffee bits over the top layer.
  13. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the trifle to chill before serving.
