Apple Pie Caramel Pudding
Serves 1
Directions
- 1Dice 5 to 8 apples, either Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, using a handy dandy dicer for less work and better consistency.
- 2Melt two sticks of unsalted butter in a pan.
- 3Add the diced apples to the melted butter.
- 4Season the apples with cinnamon.
- 5Add about one cup of brown sugar to the apples.
- 6Add fresh lemon juice for balance.
- 7Mix the apples well.
- 8Cover the pan and let it cook for 5 minutes so the apples can render down.
- 9Add a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water) to thicken the apple filling.
- 10Stir until the apple filling thickens.
- 11Cover the apple filling and let it cool down completely.
- 12For the apple pudding, add 2 to 3 boxes of vanilla Jell-O mix into a bowl.
- 13Add 3 cups of milk per box of Jell-O mix (total of 9 cups for 3 boxes).
- 14Stir the pudding mix and milk together.
- 15Sprinkle in some cinnamon.
- 16Add 2 to 3 spoonfuls of the apple filling juice to enhance the flavor.
- 17Stir the pudding again.
- 18Wrap the pudding and allow it to get thick and cold.
- 19Once the pudding is thick, add in whipped cream and fold it in.
- 20Begin assembly by placing a layer of Chessman cookies at the bottom of a serving dish.
- 21Spread a layer of pudding evenly over the cookies.
- 22Add a layer of apple filling on top of the pudding.
- 23Sprinkle some crushed vanilla wafers and Chessman cookies over the apple filling.
- 24Repeat the layers: pudding, apple filling, crushed cookies.
- 25The last layer should be Chessman cookies.
- 26Top with caramel for a little pizzazz.
- 27Let it sit in the fridge overnight.
