Caramel Apple Angel Food Cake Jars

 

Tis the season of giving, y’all! Giving thanks, giving hugs and gifts, and all the wonderful things that come with the cooler weather and its holidays. So, what better way to ring in fall (and my birthday this weekend) than to share the love a little?

Today I’ve got an incredibly good, fuss-free fall dessert for you that you’re just gonna love. Spiced caramel apples, cloud-like homemade whipped cream, and pillowy soft angel food cake make these jars a mouthwatering sweet for the season. They’re as fun to make as they are to eat, as they are to give as gifts! Triple threat treat, baby.

 

Topped with a sprinkle of cinnamon and a pinch of silced almonds, these desserts are pretty much heaven in a jar. Like a big scoopful of warm, comforting apple pie! Except, ya know… portioned. So you don’t eat the whole pan.

Thanks to pre-made angel food cakes from Sara Lee Desserts, this is one super easy sweet treat. Just chop up your cake, simmer your apples in cinnamon, sugar and butter until soft, and whip your cream into a frothy-white frenzy! Grab your jars, layer away and garnish for a little extra pizzazz!
