Thanksgiving Trifle

Thanksgiving 2008
I have discovered that I like making Trifle's. Layers of cake, cream , fruit, and goodness.
Every year I want to make a new version. Since my idea's for one isn't exactly in the joy of cooking I end up making it up.

For Thanksgiving last year I make this crazy version.

Apple Caramel Gingerbread Trifle.

To assemble I needed the following:

Gingerbread cake - 2 cakes halved for four layers

Glaze - Cooked down some of the apple brandy

Creme - whipped cream
Apples - Make apple pie filling then saute to slightly cook apples

Caramel - Added Calvados (actually Clear Creek apple brandy)

Almonds - chopped and roasted

Layer in order listed above. Topp with extra whipped cream and caramel.

Frig and keep chilled until ready to serve. Usual you eat these the day of assembly but I found it great the next day. Post Thanksgiving day food coma.
