Customer Appreciation Sale: Apple Trifle Recipe Needed!

[heather223]

I am having a Customer Appreciation sale at my house this weekend... Most everyone has had a chocolate trifle, so I wanted to make something different. Anyone have a good recipe for an Apple Trifle? (I am thinking like apple pie or apple crisp?)

Thanks!

This is just off the top of my head, but how about:
spice cake (from a mix, baked and cut into chunks)
apple pie filling or sauteed and slightly mashed fresh apples
cinnamon or caramel sprinkles
broken graham crackers (for crunch)
nuts (salted peanuts, salted cashews, or honey roasted peanuts)
whipped toppingrepeat those layers, then drizzle a little caramel on top.

I do a Carmel Apple Trifle. 3 medium sweet apples (Gala, Fugi, etc.)
12 oz lemon-lime soda (cheap is fine, but diet won't work)
16 oz caramel apple dip (found in most produce sections)
8 oz cream cheese, softened
8 oz whipped topping, thawed
1 t vanilla (or 1/2 t Pampered Chef vanilla)
1 frozen pound cake, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
Sweet Caramel Sprinkles (or chopped nuts)Pour the lemon-lime soda into a bowl. Core the apples and cut into small, bite-sized pieces. Put apples into lemon-lime soda, swishing to make sure that all of the apple surfaces are coated in the soda. (This will keep the apples from browning.) Mix caramel apple dip, cream cheese, whipped topping, and vanilla until smooth and well-blended.Place 1/2 of the pound cake cubes evenly in the bottom of your Trifle Bowl. Drain the apples and place 1/2 of them evenly on top of the pound cake. Spread half of the caramel mixture over the apples. Repeat using remaining pound cake, apples, and caramel mixture. Top with Sweet Caramel Sprinkles.This can easily be made a day ahead. You can also leave out the cream cheese and vanilla, giving it a more intense carmel flavor.
