Caramel Apple Cranberry Trifle Recipe

I made up this recipe for Caramel Apple Cranberry Trifle last month for a recipe contest. I wanted to create a dessert that features some of the many great flavors of Autumn. The top layer is a miniature Waldorf salad which includes fresh apples. The next layer is butterscotch pudding which approximates the flavor of caramel. A layer of bread pudding is next with a rich vanilla flavor. At the very bottom is a layer of cranberry jello that provides a tart finish to this rich and creamy dessert.

Ingredients:
bread pudding
2 packets of Jello brand cranberry gelatin
2 packets of Jello brand butterscotch instant pudding
1 container of Cool Whip sugar-free topping
1 apple, diced (do not remove the skin)
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 cup marshmallows (small)
1/4 tspn celery salt
1/2 tspn sugar
1 cinnamon stick

Preparation:

1. Prepare the bread pudding and then let it cool to room temperature.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the diced apple, 1 cup of Cool Whip topping, the mayonnaise, celery salt, marshmallows, and sugar. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
3. In separate bowls, prepare the cranberry Jello and butterscotch pudding according to the directions on the box.
4. Assemble the trifles by adding the ingredients in the following order: First, add the cranberry Jello and refrigerate.
   
5. After the gelatin has become firm, add a layer of bread pudding to each trifle..
6. Next, add a layer of butterscotch pudding.
7. Next, add a layer of the apple, marshmallow, whip cream mixture.
