Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this ahead of time?

You sure can! It holds up well for several hours; just wait to drizzle the caramel until serving.

Can I use a different apple?

Absolutely! But, I do recommend a tart apple to balance out the sweetness.

Can I swap Cool Whip for homemade whipped cream?

You can, but the texture will be softer and may not hold as long.

Can I add other mix-ins?

Absolutely! Nuts or toffee bits would both be fantastic.
