Recipe Notes

Buttermilk

None on hand?  Whisk 1/4 cup of vinegar or lemon juice into your milk.  Let it sit for 5 minutes, then, proceed with the recipe as noted below.

Oil

A neutral tasting oil  (canola/vegetable/sunflower) is recommended for best results.  If you don't have any in your kitchen, you can replace it with melted butter.

Storage

Keep any leftovers in a sealed container/storage bag in the refrigerator.  If desired, you can also freeze these.  Store in them a freezer safe, covered container or storage bag.  For both storage options, simply reheat them in the oven or toaster when you are ready to eat.

What Kind of Pie Crust Should I Use?

Pictured is a Chocolate Cookie Crust pre-made pie crust. However, this pie will work with a graham cracker crust ( regular or gluten free), an Oreo cookie crust, a shortbread cookie crust, a walnut/pecan crust....the list is endless.  Just stick with a no bake crumb crust and you will be good to go!

What About Whipped Topping?

AKA "Cool Whip". Use any variety ( low fat/fat free/vegan) and brand.  Just be sure it's thawed before you use it.

Chocolate Chips?

I used a milk chocolate variety.  You can go with semi sweet or dark chocolate too.  Whichever you prefer!

Recipe Notes

Whipped Topping

AKA " Cool Whip".  You can use any brand equivalent or variety ( fat free, low fat, etc). You will need 8 ounces.

Vanilla Instant Pudding Mix

Make sure it's instant.  Not, heat and serve. 

Milk

For most instant pudding mixes, you have to use dairy based milk for it to work.  However, if you use a plant based "milk" instead, you may have to use adjust the amount of milk for the pudding to set. Check beforehand. 

Caramel Sauce

Want to make it homemade?  It's easy!  Find out how.

Lemon Juice?

Yes. I toss the apples lightly in a bit of lemon juice.  It can help prevent them from browning.

Apples

I like to use Granny Smith apples for this recipe.  But, braeburn, Cortland or jonagold will all work too.
