Instructions

Peel and chop the apples into small cubes. Toss them into a medium saucepan with lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar, stirring well.
Simmer the mixture over medium heat for about 10 minutes until the apples soften and the sugar creates a caramel-like syrup. Set aside to cool.
Cut the pound cake into bite-sized cubes. Prepare a piping bag or zip-top bag with the Cool Whip.
Assemble the trifle by layering pound cake cubes at the bottom of serving glasses. Add a layer of the apple mixture followed by caramel sauce and a layer of Cool Whip.
Repeat the layering: pound cake, apples, caramel, and Cool Whip. Drizzle caramel on top before serving. Enjoy fresh or refrigerate.

Notes

For added flavor, consider using a mix of apples.
Make ahead: Keep components separate and assemble just before serving for the best texture.
You can substitute Cool Whip with homemade whipped cream if preferred.
