Instructions

1. In a large bowl add the crushed pineapple and butterscotch pudding mix
2. Stir until the pudding mixture is combined with the crushed pineapple.
3. Add the mini marshmallows and stir.
4. Chop the apples up into chunks, leaving the skin on and no core.

Notes

• Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
• Make sure not to drain the juice from the crushed pineapple. Add that to the bowl as well to get the right consistency.
• You can use crackers to scoop the fluff out or scoop it into little bowls and eat it as individual servings.
• So your final stir BEFORE you drizzle the caramel!
