Apple Tea-ramisu

Welcome to Fall Flavors week! I'm kicking things off with a spin on one of my husband's favorite desserts, tiramisu.  Since I used Republic of Tea's Caramel Apple instead of coffee, I've dubbed it Tea-ramisu!

This post is sponsored in conjunction with Fall Flavors Week. I recieved product samples from sponsor companies to aid in the creation of my recipes. All opinions are my own.

 
I used store bought ladyfingers, but you absolutely can make your own, or you can even use angel food cake. I laid them out and then used a pastry brush to soak them with the tea.  Then I added a drizzle of Torani Puremade Caramel Syrup.

Next comes the cream cheese layer. 

After that, the lovely caramel apples. You can cheat and use the canned Caramel Apple Pie filling and chop it up, but I make these a lot in fall and use them for a ton of things.

Finish it off with some sweetened whipped cream, and another drizzle of caramel if you like.

My guys were nagging me to serve this up, so I only let it set for 4 hours.  6 would be better, overnight would be awesome. Is this a tiramisu in the traditional sense of the word? Nope.  But it's absolutely awesome and you're welcome to call it whatever you like!
