We reduced the amount of NILLA Wafers and used margarine instead of butter. In addition, we used fat-free milk, COOL WHIP Sugar Free Whipped Topping, JELL-O Vanilla Flavor Fat Free Sugar Free Instant Pudding and sugar-free caramel ice cream topping instead of full-fat products. These small changes make this dessert better for you without sacrificing the flavor.Keep Apples from Turning BrownAfter cutting the apples, minimize browning by dipping them in 1 cup water mixed with 1 Tbsp. lemon juice before adding to dessert.NoteDessert can be stored in refrigerator up to 24 hours before adding toppings just before serving
