Time 9h30m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 pounds Golden Delicious apples - peeled, cored and chopped
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon all-purpose flour, or as needed
2 (3.5 ounce) packages instant French vanilla pudding
3 cups milk
1 cup sour cream
1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 (14.4 ounce) box cinnamon graham crackers
1 (18 ounce) container caramel apple dip
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Combine the apples, cinnamon and sugar in a saucepan and set over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender. If the mixture ends up with a lot of liquid, mix in a little bit of flour, and simmer until thickened. Remove from the heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the instant pudding and milk until smooth. Stir in the sour cream and fold in the whipped topping.
  • To assemble the cake, line the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish with a single layer of cinnamon graham crackers. Use a slotted spoon to make a thin layer of the apple mixture. Top with a generous layer of the pudding, about 1/3. Repeat layers until you have three layers of apples and pudding and four layers of crackers.
  • Warm the caramel apple dip in the microwave oven until it can be easily poured. Pour this over the top layer of graham crackers. Refrigerate for at least overnight, but up to 24 hours before serving.

AMAZING CARAMEL APPLE CAKE



Amazing Caramel Apple Cake image

My husband got this recipe from a former co-worker after she brought the apple cake to a food day. I've made a few adjustments to the recipe and my husband says it's even better than the original (maybe he's just being nice?). Either way, every time we've made it our guests LOVE it and almost always have more than one piece. You can serve with whipped topping or ice cream.
