Notes
You can make this recipe dairy-free by using non-dairy milk, such as almond milk, non-dairy pudding mix (many are already dairy-free!), non-dairy whipped topping (CocoWhip is dairy-free), and dairy-free caramel sauce.
You can use other flavors of pudding mix, such as butterscotch or caramel for this recipe.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 2 days. It’s best served in the same day for optimal texture.
I used a combination of apples - honeycrisp and granny smith. Both are very crisp, which hold up well in the salad. I like the tartness from the granny smith and the crisp sweetness from the honeycrisp. The combination is great, but you can also just use one variety if you prefer.
I prefer to leave the skin on my apples for this recipe. It adds additional texture. You can peel the apples if you prefer.
