Ingredients

• 3 medium Granny Smith apples
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 box (3.4 oz) Instant vanilla pudding mix
• 2 cups Milk
• 1 cup Peanut butter
• 2 cups Whipped topping (thawed)
• 1 cup Salted peanuts (chopped)
• 1 cup Graham crackers (crushed)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and core the Granny Smith apples. Dice them into small bite-sized pieces and place them in a bowl.

Step 2

Toss the diced apples with lemon juice to prevent browning. Set aside.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and milk until smooth and thickened, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the peanut butter to the prepared pudding and mix until fully combined.

Step 5

Gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is light and fluffy.

Step 6

In a trifle dish or any clear glass serving bowl, begin layering the dessert. Start with a layer of crushed graham crackers at the bottom.

Step 7

Add a layer of the diced apples on top of the graham crackers.

Step 8

Spread a layer of the peanut butter pudding mixture over the apples to completely cover them.

Step 9

Sprinkle a layer of chopped salted peanuts over the pudding. Repeat the layering process (graham crackers, apples, pudding, peanuts) until all ingredients are used, ending with a pudding layer on top.

Step 10

Garnish the final layer with a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers, a few chopped peanuts, or an extra dollop of whipped topping for presentation.

Step 11

Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the layers to set.

Step 12

Serve chilled and enjoy!
