\"apple-pie-trifle\"<\/a>This colossal trifle\u00a0is yummylicious!!! It\u2019s an easy to make, low-fat, fall and winter dessert!

Use back of spoon to spread.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Drizzle 1\u00bd tablespoons caramel syrup over the top of cool whip.<\/span>
\n<\/span>Repeat the steps starting with angel food cake and ending with Cool Whip and caramel syrup drizzled over top. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

3. Chill for at least 1 hour or overnight, before serving. Store any leftovers covered in refrigerator. You can freeze the leftovers too.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
