Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 frozen classic pound cakes (10.75 ounces each), cut into bite-size cubes
  • 4 cups cold whole milk
  • 2 boxes instant vanilla pudding mix (3.4 ounces each)
  • 2 cans apple pie filling (21 ounces each)
  • 1 container thawed whipped topping (8 ounces)
  • 1 jar caramel sundae topping (12.25 ounces)
  • 1 cup chopped pecans, divided

Instructions

  1. Slice both frozen pound cakes into small, even cubes suitable for layering. Reserve any extra cubes for another use.
  2. Add the cold whole milk to a mixing bowl. Sprinkle both packages of instant vanilla pudding mix over the milk. Using a handheld mixer on medium-low speed or a whisk, blend until the pudding begins to thicken.
  3. Arrange a layer of pound cake cubes on the bottom of a trifle bowl (approximately 3 quarts in capacity). Spread half of the prepared vanilla pudding mixture evenly over the pound cake cubes.
  4. Spoon one can of apple pie filling evenly over the pudding layer. Evenly drizzle half of the caramel sundae topping over the apple pie filling. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of chopped pecans on top.
  5. Repeat with a second layer of pound cake. Add the remaining vanilla pudding and second can of apple pie filling. Do not add the rest of the caramel or pecans yet. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
  6. Just before serving, spread thawed whipped topping over the chilled trifle. Drizzle with remaining caramel topping and sprinkle with remaining chopped pecans.
