Ingredients

Apple Filling:

1 (21-oz.) can apple pie fruit filling or topping

1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon

1/8 tsp. table salt

1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg

TIRAMISU:

1 (8-oz.) container mascarpone cheese, softened

2 cups heavy whipping cream

2/3 cup granulated sugar

2 tsp. ground cinnamon

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1/4 tsp. table salt

1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg

1 cup apple cider

24 ladyfingers

1/4 cup caramel topping, plus more for drizzling

Chopped toasted pecans (optional)

Directions

Prepare the Apple Filling:

In a bowl, mix together apple pie fruit filling, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg until well combined. Set aside a quarter of apple slices from the filling; mash the remaining apple mixture using a potato masher.

Prepare the Tiramisu:

In a large bowl, whisk together cream, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, salt, and nutmeg until it starts to thicken. Increase speed and beat until soft peaks form. Gently fold a third of this mixture into mascarpone cheese; then add the remaining mixture in two parts, gently folding until combined.

Quickly dip ladyfingers in apple cider, one by one, just coating them for about a second. Arrange half of the dipped ladyfingers at the bottom of an 8-inch square baking dish; trim or break as needed to fit.

Spread half of mashed apple filling over the ladyfingers; drizzle with 2 tablespoons of caramel sauce. Top with half of the mascarpone mixture, spreading it evenly. Repeat layers with remaining ladyfingers, cider, apple filling, caramel sauce, and mascarpone mixture.

Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate tiramisu with reserved apple slices for at least 4 hours or up to 24 hours until set.

When ready to serve, chop the reserved apple slices. Top the tiramisu with chopped apples, a drizzle of caramel sauce, and optionally, pecans.
