Once you peel and chop your apples, the rest of the recipe comes together pretty quickly….believe me, that chopping is totally worth the end result!
Sautéing the apples with the brown sugar makes them tender and melt in your mouth good.
The layers wouldn’t be the same without the creamy cheesecake. Probably my favorite! Well, the apples are darn good, so I just don’t know!

We often choose to serve our trifles in little serving cups. However, the yield of the recipe totally depends upon the size of those serving cups. If on the small to medium side, probably about 8-10. You could also make it in one big trifle dish to serve a crowd and wow them with your culinary skills! (no need to tell them how easy it is 🙂 )
