- Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the apples. This will help them cook evenly.
- Don't overcook the apples. They should be tender but still slightly firm.
- Make sure the caramel sauce is cooled slightly before pouring it over the apples. If the sauce is too hot, it will melt the apples.
- Chill the trifle for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the trifle to set.
