• ½ cup caramel sauce (plus more for drizzling)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Fruit:
   Wash, hull, and slice the strawberries. Peel, core, and chop the apples into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.

2. Layer the Cream:
   In a large rectangular or square serving dish (or aluminum trays for easy transport), spread an even layer of whipped topping across the bottom to create a creamy base.

3. Add the Fruit:
   Evenly distribute the sliced strawberries and apple chunks over the layer of whipped topping. Make sure the fruit covers the surface generously to create a colorful and juicy middle layer.

4. Drizzle with Caramel:
   Warm the caramel sauce slightly if needed to make it easy to drizzle. Drizzle a generous amount of caramel over the fruit layer, letting it seep slightly into the whipped cream.

5. Top with Crunch:
   Sprinkle the granola evenly over the top. The granola adds a delightful crunch that contrasts beautifully with the soft cream and juicy fruit.

6. Final Touch:
   Finish with an extra drizzle of caramel sauce over the granola layer for added sweetness and shine.

7. Chill and Serve:
   Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the layers to set and the flavors to meld. Serve chilled with a big spoonful to capture all the layers in every bite.

Notes:

• For extra flavor, sprinkle a little cinnamon over the apples before layering.

• You can substitute the granola with crushed graham crackers or toasted nuts if preferred.
