These Caramel Apple Trifles are the perfect apple treat – no bake, super easy and full of cinnamon! It’s also my last recipe for Apple Week.

It’s sad to see it go, but be sure to check out my blondie cheesecake and layered cake. So many tasty apple choices! Julianne, from Beyond Frosting, has been cranking out some awesome apple recipes too, so be sure to check out her cheesecake bars, muffins and ice cream.

So the craziest thing happened the other night. I was sleeping peacefully when all of a sudden the tv in our bedroom came on. Immediately I turned to accuse the hubs of waking me up. I was ready to banish him to the living room to go watch that tv. I had my death stare ready to go but when I looked over at him, he was passed out cold. Not even moving.

I called his name and woke him up and asked him if he’d turned on the tv. Perhaps he’d turned it on and was pretending to be asleep? Maybe it was a bad joke?

Nope, it wasn’t him. And when I located the remote, it clearly wasn’t within his reach.

So the tv had just turned on all by itself. We had two dogs in the room with us (dog sitting my brother’s dog) and neither of them budged, so it didn’t seem like anyone was in the house.

We went back to sleep and still don’t know what it was. It didn’t really even register with the hubs just how creepy it was until the next morning. I’ve decided it was Casper, the {hopefully} friendly ghost. Maybe he just wanted a Caramel Apple Trifle and was trying to get my attention? 

These easy, no bake trifles have two layers each of the following:

Cinnamon granola
Cinnamon whipped cream
Cinnamon apples
Caramel

Can you tell I’m addicted to cinnamon? This is my preferred granola. I use it in my yogurt. But if you have another that you prefer, be my guest. I’d just recommend that it has cinnamon in it. 

The whipped cream is homemade and super easy. I could eat it on its own with a spoon.

And I made my own caramel, but it’d be easy to replace with a store-bought one, if you prefer. It’d make these even easier to make, which I’m totally down with.

The cinnamon apples are baked right on the stove. They probably are the most time intensive part of this, simply with all the chopping. Totally worth it.

These would be great for Thanksgiving! With all the cooking on, these are an easy but pretty dessert that can be made ahead of time. I’d actually recommend making them at least a few hours ahead, giving the granola a little time to soften up. I love the combined texture of the slightly crunchy granola, apples and creamy whipped cream. Perfect!
