Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Granny Smith apples
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Toffee sauce
- 1 pound Sponge cake (store-bought or homemade)
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 cups Custard (prepared or store-bought)
- 0.5 cup Crushed ginger snaps or biscotti (optional)
Instructions
Peel, core, and chop the Granny Smith apples into small cubes.
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook for 8-10 minutes until the apples soften and caramelize slightly. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract using a hand mixer until medium peaks form. Set aside.
Cut the sponge cake into 1-inch cubes. Drizzle with honey to lightly coat the cubes.
In a large trifle dish or individual serving glasses, begin layering: Start with a layer of honey-drizzled sponge cake, followed by a layer of cooked caramelized apples, then a layer of custard. Drizzle a generous amount of toffee sauce over the custard.
Repeat the layering process until all ingredients are used up, finishing with a layer of whipped cream on top.
Optionally, sprinkle crushed ginger snaps or biscotti over the final layer for added texture.
Refrigerate the trifle for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled and enjoy your delicious Toffee Apple and Honey Trifle!
