Instructions

Peel and chop the apples into small cubes and place them in a medium saucepan.
Add lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar. Stir the mixture well.
Simmer over medium heat for about 10 minutes until the apples soften and the sugar melts into a syrup. Let it cool slightly.
Cut the pound cake into bite-sized cubes. Fill a piping bag with Cool Whip.
Beginning the assembly: place a layer of pound cake cubes in serving glasses or jars. Spoon a layer of the apple mixture on top, followed by caramel sauce and a generous layer of Cool Whip.
Repeat the layers: pound cake, apples, caramel, and Cool Whip, finishing with a drizzle of caramel on top. Serve immediately or refrigerate.

Notes

Feel free to substitute the pound cake with your favorite cake type.
For more crunch, consider adding chopped nuts as a layer or garnish.
These trifle desserts can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator.
