We’re finally feeling that crisp chill of fall here in Maine. We’re at that point in the year where we sweat our butts of during the day and can’t find enough blankets to keep us warm at night. But the bipolar weather is one of my favorite things about fall! And the apple recipes just keep on coming, today I’m sharing this simple and delicious recipe for Caramel Apple Pie Napoleons!
Have you ever had a napoleon? I still remember my first, it was a blueberry one from a little cafe and I was completely in love with the flaky pastry filled with a delicious cream and sweet gooey blueberry goodness! That was years ago and I figured it was time to make some of my own. With the help of frozen pastry dough, these Caramel Apple Pie Napoleons are so easy to make and super quick so they’re perfect if you don’t have a lot of time!
My Caramel Apple Pie Dip has been really popular since I shared it last week and I thought it could be used for so much more than just dip! The spice and apples of the dip would pair perfectly with a fluffy sweet mascarpone cream filling sandwiched between two layers of delicate pastry. Drizzle all that with gooey caramel and it’s LOVE!

I feel as though I’m missing something — where does the mascarpone go?
