Caramel Apple Pudding Shot Ingredients
These fall household staples may already be in your home for a variety of delicious seasonal recipes. Gather the following ingredients:
- Butterscotch instant pudding mix. Despite being butterscotch, this is a big part of what brings caramel to the party. If you can’t find butterscotch, any pudding mix will work, but it will just change the flavors a little.
- Milk. I used skim, but you can use whatever milk you have on hand.
- Caramel vodka. Also used in our Caramel Apple Moscow Mule recipe.
- Apple pie filling. You may need to cut the slices so they are smaller.
- Vanilla extract
- Whipped cream. Optional for topping.
- Caramel sauce. Optional for topping.

Perfect! Since I would serve this at a family gathering is there a way I can also make this without vodka for kids and non-drinkers?
Yeah, if you replace the vodka with just more milk it should work as an alcohol free drink. I have not made it this way but it should work!

I’m having trouble finding “instant” butterscotch pudding, would regular butterscotch pudding work? Looking forward to making these, they sound really yummy!
We haven’t tested it with cook and serve, it may work but we would want to test it before we recommend it. It does look like amazon and Walmart carry it, or you can try instacart and it will show if any nearby place has it(don’t need to buy through instacart). Good luck!

I made these yesterday and they still have not set up. What could I have done wrong? Is there any way to make them set up now ? I did only use the amount of what was called for
Is there any possibility you accidentally grabbed pudding that needs to be cooked instead of instant pudding? That could account for the difference, though these will never set to solid.

Help! This isn’t turning out right at all. Should it be 3/4 ounces pudding mix instead of 3.4 ounces?
It should be 3.4 ounce box of instant, not cook and serve or sugar free. Looks like this: https://www.amazon.com/JELL-Butterscotch-Instant-Pudding-Filling/dp/B000E1BLOE
Is it too liquidy or too dry?
