How to Make Peanutty Apple Trifle Dessert

  1. Combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, ½ cup packed brown sugar, ½ cup creamy peanut butter, and ¼ cup melted butter in a bowl. Mix well. Press half of the mixture into the bottom of a 3-quart trifle bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat 8 ounces cream cheese with ¼ cup powdered sugar until smooth. Gently fold in 1 cup whipped topping.
  3. Spread half of the cream cheese mixture over the graham cracker crust in the trifle bowl.
  4. Top with one (21 ounce) can of apple pie filling.
  5. In a small bowl, combine ¼ cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ¼ cup creamy peanut butter until crumbly. Sprinkle half of this mixture over the apple pie filling.
  6. Repeat layers: graham cracker crumbs, cream cheese mixture, apple pie filling, and peanut butter cinnamon topping.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld and the dessert to chill.
