Old-fashioned Danish Apple Trifle Recipe

Name: Old-fashioned Danish Apple Trifle
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 15 min
Total time: 66 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 800g Cooking Apples; 1/4 cup Water; 1 tsp Vanilla Powder; 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice; 4 tablespoons Sugar; 50g Butter; 100g Breadcrumbs; 50g Sugar; 3/4 cup Double Cream

This Danish apple trifle layers vanilla-scented apples with crisp, buttery breadcrumbs and a cloud of whipped cream. The apples cook down into a coarse, tart-sweet sauce, brightened with lemon, while the breadcrumbs toast up with butter and sugar until lightly golden. For the best texture, assemble the trifle just before serving to keep the breadcrumbs crunchy. You can layer it in a single large glass bowl or prepare individual portions.
