Description

Indulge in the delightful flavors of caramel and apple with this decadent Caramel Apple Eclair Cake. Layers of creamy filling, graham crackers, and caramel sauce create a heavenly dessert that is perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

For the Filling:

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 package instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 cup milk

For the Layers:

  • 1 box graham crackers
  • 2-3 apples, thinly sliced

For the Caramel Sauce:

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup milk


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Add the vanilla pudding mix and milk, and continue to mix until well combined and thick.
  2. Layer the Cake: In a rectangular dish, start by layering graham crackers, followed by a generous spread of the filling and a layer of sliced apples. Repeat the layers until the dish is filled.
  3. Make the Caramel Sauce: In a saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar together. Once melted, add the milk and stir until smooth.
  4. Finish and Chill: Pour the warm caramel sauce over the top layer of the cake. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld.

Notes

  • You can drizzle additional caramel sauce on top before serving for extra sweetness.
  • Feel free to sprinkle chopped nuts or cinnamon on top for added flavor and texture.
  • This cake is best served chilled.
