Welcome to Spud Island

It’s almost that time of year again.  The day that you stuff yourself silly with turkey and all the fixins!  We are going to my parents cottage for thanksgiving.  My brother is deep frying a turkey.  Hopefully, we will have no grease fires, but hubby is a firefighter, so no worries there! I am making a trifle. But not just any trifle. It is a caramel apple trifle….yummmmmmmmmmm!

Doesn’t it look yummy!!!  I couldn’t find the recipe online, so I will share the recipe from halloween cookbook I have….enjoy!

Caramel Apple Trifle

3 tbsp butter

4 cups chopped peeled tart apples

1 cup chopped walnuts

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1 tsp apple pie spice

1 pkg cream cheese softened

1 jar of caramel ice cream topping

1 tub of cool whip dessert topping

2 loaves of pound cake cut into 1 inch cubes

In a large skillet, melt butter and stir in apples, walnuts, brown sugar and apple pie spice. cook and stir for 10 min or until apples are tender.

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. beat in 1/2 cup of caramel topping and remaining apple pie spice. fold in 2 cups of whipped topping.

In a large trifle bowl, layer a third of the cake cubes, cream cheese mixture and apple mixture. repeat layers twice. garnish with the remaining whipped topping and drizzle with caramel topping.  sprinkle additional apple pie spice if desired.  cover and refrigerate at least 1 hr before serving.

in goes the bird!

I love Deep-fried turkey! A friend of ours makes them all the time, the only downfall is that you don’t get any dripping for homemade gravy and that’s my favourite part. Now I often freeze an icecream bucket of it so when we get invited I bring the gravy for everyone! One thing our friend also does is inject the turkey with a marinade. So yummy!

That dessert looks amazing, I think I have most of the ingredients I may try it this weekend too!
