Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 apples, peeled and diced
- 2 cups caramel sauce
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Cream Ingredient:
- 1 cup heavy cream, whipped
Instructions
- Gently simmer diced apples in caramel sauce over medium heat until they soften and become slightly translucent, approximately 5-7 minutes. Allow the mixture to cool completely at room temperature.
- Create a foundation in individual serving glasses by sprinkling a generous layer of graham cracker crumbs as the base.
- Carefully distribute the cooled caramel-infused apple pieces evenly across the crumb layer.
- Generously pipe or spoon fluffy whipped cream on top of the apple layer, ensuring complete coverage.
- Delicately drizzle additional caramel sauce in a zigzag pattern over the whipped cream surface.
- Lightly dust the entire dessert with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon for aromatic enhancement.
- Refrigerate the assembled trifles for 60 minutes to allow flavors to meld and cream to set, creating a chilled and cohesive dessert experience.
Notes
- Swap regular caramel sauce with a dairy-free version for vegan guests, ensuring everyone can enjoy this delightful dessert.
- Toast graham cracker crumbs briefly in a skillet to enhance their nutty flavor and add a delicious crunch to the trifle layers.
- Use firm baking apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp to maintain texture and prevent mushiness during cooking.
- Prepare components ahead of time and assemble just before serving to keep graham cracker layers crisp and prevent soggy desserts.
