Apple, Caramel & Pound Cake Trifle Recipe
A trifle bowl filled with pound cake and pudding like goodness – is the way to my heart. I could eat an entire bowl for any occasion, holiday or moment I need something sweet. And of course – this Caramel Apple Pound Cake Trifle is another one that hits the comfort spot!
Every time I make a trifle bowl dessert in this house, it’s gone by the next day. “WE” are guilty of eating it straight out of the glass trifle bowl with a spoon. Well….let me rephrase that. I’m guilty of sitting on the couch, by myself, and eating the entire bowl with a spoon. {oops!} I don’t know what it is but it’s crave-worthy!! Depending on the time of year, you can make a trifle bowl centered around the fruit of the season.
I recently made this Caramel Apple Pound Cake Trifle in honor of Joe’s birthday a few days back and for our at home date night. It’s a festive twist {it’s like apple pie but fancier} and is perfect for any fall or winter gatherings. In fact – I think I might be making a batch for Thanksgiving {or two batches cause it’s that good!}
So if I convinced you that you need to give it a try, keep scrolling to see how I pulled it off. It can be easily made within an hour and devoured even faster!
