Tips:

  • Use fresh apples: Fresh apples provide the best flavor and texture for this trifle. Choose firm, crisp apples that will hold their shape when baked.
  • Peel and core the apples: Peeling and coring the apples will help them to cook evenly and prevent the skin from becoming tough.
  • Slice the apples thinly: Thinly sliced apples will cook more quickly and evenly.
  • Use a variety of apples: Using a variety of apples will give the trifle a more complex flavor. Some good choices include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady.
  • Cook the apples until they are tender: The apples should be tender but still hold their shape. Overcooking the apples will make them mushy.
  • Make the caramel sauce ahead of time: The caramel sauce can be made up to 2 days in advance. This will give it time to cool and thicken.
  • Let the trifle chill before serving: The trifle should be chilled for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the trifle to set.
