I’m really getting in to these icebox cakes. They are so easy, so tasty, and so versatile! Did you see my No Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake Icebox Cake that I posted at the beginning of the week? If you missed it you’ll want to stop over and check it out before you leave. Show of hands who loves caramel apples? I certainly do and they SCREAM fall to me. They’re sweet, decadent, tart, and downright delicious. I decided to deconstruct the caramel apple for this icebox cake. All of the important elements are here just layered up in a unique way. Icebox cakes are perfect to feed large crowds, which means this would be perfect at your holiday parties, pot lucks, family gatherings and more!
So you may have noticed I’ve ditched the cool whip which of course would be the easy way out. You are certainly welcome to sub it for fresh whipped cream – I’ve just gotten rid of it due to the extra preservatives and ingredients that aren’t necessary. If I really wanted to be an overachiever I would have made my own caramel – but on the real, a’int nobody got time for that! But if I did have time… I’d totally do it. Also, my tip for keeping the apples from turning brown is to coat them with fresh squeezed lemon juice. You can also use sprite, but since I don’t drink soda I didn’t want that temptation laying around. Heads up, for the locals that haven’t made plans this weekend, I’ll be at the Deseret News Fall Home Show making this scrumptious easy-breezy treat! You can see first hand how easy this is! The theme of my hour is Festive Fall No Bake Treats and I’ll be on the stage at 1:00 PM, I’d love to see you! Plus who doesn’t love free food right? I’m whipping up this as well as my No Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake Icebox Cake, 3-Ingredient Pumpkin Dip, and No Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake Parfait! I’d love to see you!

Hi. I am gonna try the Carmel apple for the church anniversary for my table. I make another with pineapple bananas and strawberries regularly
Can I use other biscuits instead of graham crackers?
Yvonne
Well, I suppose it depends on what kind of ‘biscuits’ you are referring to, if you’re meaning something like English biscuits/crackers – then maybe! I’ve never tried, but sounds like something that just may work!
Hi.,This was a huge hit at my family’s harvest nite! I used apple pie filling cause I was feeling lazy, I also used reg. grahams. I let it set for about 16hrs and that was plenty. The texture was surprisingly thicker than I would have thought and really tasty! I also used marzetti’s caramel dip to pipe all over the top in a nice thick layer and that sent it over the top :)
