The only change I made was to make my own pie filling to make it less sweet. This made one delicious cake trifle that we loved! It was rich so little servings were good. So good!

Great dessert for my Halloween party. It was devoured in no time! The only thing I did differently was cut the cake into cubes, and I made my own apples using Macintosh apples, brown sugar and cinnamon. Very festive with Halloween sprinkles on top! You could change it up for any holiday. This is now in my Keeper File!

I made this for my daughter's birthday as apple desserts are her favorite. It was extremely sweet but the balance of ice cream on the side was a good addition to cut that sweetness. They went very well together!
