Ingredients

  • 2 large Granny Smith apple, peeled, thinly sliced
  • 1 package (2-layer size) yellow cake mix, divided
  • 2 (3.4 ounce) packages JELL-O Vanilla Flavor Instant Pudding
  • 1 1/2 cups cold milk
  • 1 (12.25 ounce) jar caramel ice cream topping, divided
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 cup thawed COOL WHIP Whipped Topping, divided
  • 1/2 cup chopped PLANTERS Dry Roasted Peanuts

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

  3. Beat dry pudding mixes, milk, 3/4 cup caramel topping and water with whisk 2 min.; drizzle over apples. Place baking dish on baking sheet.
  4. Bake cake 1 hour to 1 hour 10 min. or until golden brown. Cool 20 min. (Sauce will thicken slightly as it cools.)
