Description
Toffee Apple Trifle is a decadent dessert that combines layers of diced apples, creamy pudding, and crunchy toffee bits, all served in a beautiful trifle dish.
Ingredients
- 6 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup vanilla pudding mix
- 2 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup toffee bits
- 1 package (12 ounces) ladyfinger cookies
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, toss the diced apples with lemon juice, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Let them sit for about 15 minutes to soften and release their juices.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix and milk until thickened, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the pudding mixture until well combined.
- In a large trifle dish or individual serving glasses, layer half of the ladyfinger cookies at the bottom. Spoon half of the apple mixture over the cookies, followed by half of the pudding mixture.
- Sprinkle half of the toffee bits and walnuts (if using) over the pudding layer. Repeat the layers with the remaining ladyfingers, apples, pudding, and top with the remaining toffee bits.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute the heavy cream with whipped topping and use low-fat milk for the pudding.
- You can also add a layer of caramel sauce between the layers for extra sweetness.
