These are a few of my favorite things

This is one of my favorite things I have made recently...maybe ever:



It's not much to look at, but it tastes fantastic. It's an apple caramel trifle: layers of spice cake, creamy caramel sauce, ginger-cinnamon pastry cream, and caramelized apples cooked down so that they barely held their shape. Topped with whipped cream (of course). It is cakey and creamy and gooey and tastes just like fall. Love.
