Instructions

Peel and chop the apples into small cubes and toss them into a medium saucepan.
Add the lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar, and stir well.
Simmer the mixture over medium heat for about 10 minutes until the apples soften and the sugar melts into a syrup.
Set the mixture aside to cool slightly before assembling the trifles.
Cut the pound cake into bite-sized cubes.
Fill a piping bag with Cool Whip or use a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off.
In serving glasses or jars, begin with a layer of pound cake cubes.
Spoon on a layer of the apple mixture, followed by a drizzle of caramel sauce.
Pipe a generous layer of Cool Whip on top.
Repeat the layers of pound cake, apples, caramel, and Cool Whip one more time.
Finish with a final drizzle of caramel over the top and serve immediately, or refrigerate.

Notes

You can use any type of cake if pound cake isn’t available, such as white or angel food cake.
For a gourmet touch, add chopped nuts or whipped cream on top before serving.
Enjoy your trifles immediately for the best texture, or chill them for slightly softened flavors.
