Instructions:
Make the Caramel Sauce:
1️⃣ In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Cook over medium-low heat for 3-5 minutes, until the sugar is dissolved.
2️⃣ Add butter and melt, then bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Do not stir—let it boil until it turns a deep golden copper color (10-15 minutes).
3️⃣ Remove from heat and slowly whisk in the heavy cream (careful, it will bubble!).
4️⃣ Add vanilla extract and salt. Stir and let cool. The sauce will thicken as it cools.
Prepare the Cinnamon Apples:
1️⃣ Wash, peel, and dice the apples into bite-sized pieces.
2️⃣ In a pan, combine the apples, lemon juice, nutmeg, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Toss to coat evenly.
3️⃣ Cook over medium heat for 10-15 minutes, until the apples soften. Let cool for 10-15 minutes.
Make the Cinnamon Whipped Cream:
1️⃣ In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and cinnamon on high speed until stiff peaks form.
Assemble the Trifles:
1️⃣ In 4 jars or cups, add a layer of cinnamon whipped cream.
2️⃣ Top with 2 tablespoons of granola, then drizzle with 1 tablespoon of caramel sauce.
3️⃣ Add 2 tablespoons of cooked apples.
4️⃣ Repeat the layers, finishing with a drizzle of caramel sauce on top.
Serve or Chill:
These trifles can be enjoyed right away, but they taste even better after chilling for 2-3 hours. Best eaten within 1-2 days.
