A friend of mine from high school is having a Real Food Real Fast show with me in a couple of weeks. She wanted to know what we could make for dessert, and I wasn't prepared for the question. I suggested a trifle and told her how many choices she'd have. She decided she wants the Taffy Apple Pizza. Been there, done that! Hasn't everyone, including guests? I want to suggest a trifle with the same flavor. I found one on recipezaar.com, but I'm not sure about it. I found other ones using spice cake. Using apple pie filling from a can seems gross. Any suggestions? Here's the recipe.
Peannutty Apple Trifle
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 24 squares)
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/3 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 (16 ounce) container Cool Whip, thawed
2 (21 ounce) cans apple pie filling
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
In bowl, combine cracker crumbs, brown sugar, 1/2 cup peanut butter and butter and spoon 1/2 of mixture into 3 qt bowl.
In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smoothed and fold in the whipped topping.
Spread 1/2 of this mixture into the trifle bowl or deep dish bowl.
Top w/one can apple pie filling.
Then combine powdered sugar, cinnamon and the remaining peanut butter until crumbly and sprinkle half over pie filling.
Repeat the layers and refigerate until serving
