In a measuring cup, pour 4 cups of cold milk for the pudding.

Add two boxes of cheesecake flavored pudding to the milk.

Whisk the pudding mixture with a metal whisk until it thickens.

Start assembling the trifle by adding a layer of pound cake to the bottom of the trifle dish.

Press down on the pound cake layer to settle it.

Add a layer of canned apple pie filling on top of the pound cake.

Pour half of the pudding mixture over the apple pie filling and smooth it out with a spatula.

Sprinkle chopped pecans on top of the pudding layer.

Drizzle Ghirardelli sea salt caramel over the pecans.

Repeat the layers with pound cake, apple pie filling, and pudding until the dish is full, leaving space at the top for whipped topping.

Top the final layer with whipped topping and sprinkle with more chopped pecans.
