Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Caramel Apple Éclair Cake.
Step 1
Begin by gathering all the essential ingredients for this delightful dessert.
Step 2
In a saucepan, combine the chopped apples, ground cinnamon, and white sugar.
Step 3
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the apples soften and release their natural sweetness.
Step 4
If the mixture becomes too watery, simply stir in a touch of flour and let it simmer until it thickens to your liking.
Step 5
Once done, remove from heat and allow it to cool to room temperature.
Step 6
In a spacious mixing bowl, whisk together the instant pudding and milk until you achieve a smooth consistency.
Step 7
Next, incorporate the sour cream, and gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until everything is harmoniously blended.
Step 8
To create the cake layers, line the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish with a single layer of cinnamon graham crackers.
Step 9
Using a slotted spoon, add a delicate layer of the apple mixture atop the crackers.
Step 10
Follow this with about one-third of the pudding mixture, repeating the process to form three layers of apples and pudding, and four layers of graham crackers in total.
Step 11
For the finishing touch, warm the caramel apple dip in the microwave until it reaches a pourable consistency, then drizzle it generously over the top layer of graham crackers.
Step 12
Cover the dish and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least overnight, or up to 24 hours, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully before serving.
Step 13
Enjoy this scrumptious treat that’s sure to impress your family and friends!.
