This delicious éclair cake is a no-bake dessert that combines apples, vanilla pudding, and cinnamon graham crackers — topped with caramel icing. It's best to refrigerate it for 24 hours to let the dessert have time to form a cake-like consistency.

  2. Combine apples, cinnamon, and sugar in a saucepan and set over medium heat. Cook, occasionally stirring, until apples are tender. If mixture ends up with a lot of liquid, mix in a little bit of flour, and simmer until thickened. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
