Instructions

Peel and chop the apples into small cubes and place them in a medium saucepan.
Add the lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar, and stir well.
Simmer the mixture over medium heat for about 10 minutes until the apples soften and the sugar dissolves into a syrup. Let it cool slightly.
Cut the pound cake into bite-sized cubes. Prepare a piping bag (or a zip-top bag with a corner snipped) filled with Cool Whip.
Begin assembling by layering pound cake cubes in serving glasses. Top with a layer of the apple mixture, then drizzle with caramel sauce, and finish with a layer of Cool Whip.
Repeat the layering with pound cake, apples, caramel, and Cool Whip, ending with caramel on top. Serve immediately or refrigerate.

Notes

For added flavor, consider using a variety of apples for different textures and sweetness.
Customize the dessert by adding nuts or alternative toppings if desired.
These trifles can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for a refreshing treat later.
