A deliciously layered dessert featuring pound cake, apple pie filling, creamy vanilla pudding, and drizzled with caramel sauce, topped with pecans.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 (10.75-ounce) frozen classic pound cakes

Instructions
- Slice both of the frozen pound cakes into bite-size cubes.

- Evenly drizzle ½ of the caramel sundae topping over the apple pie filling.
- Sprinkle ½ cup of the chopped pecans over the caramel layer.
