  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 stick of margarine, melted
  • Reserve 1/2 cup of crust mixture for garnish

Middle Layer:

  • 1 packet Caramel Apple Dip Mix
  • 8 oz. softened cream cheese*
  • 1 (8 oz.) tub CoolWhip® - divided
  • 1 (8 oz.) can crushed pineapple, well drained

*Cream cheese may be softened in microwave. Blend cream cheese to avoid any “hot spots” before adding to recipe.
