Apple Bourbon Spice Mini Trifles with Caramel

Apple Bourbon Spice Mini Trifles with Caramel is the perfect upcoming Fall dessert combining Red Delicious apples, Makers Mark Bourbon, a simple box cake mix, orange zest, and sinfully delicious caramel sauce.

Believe it or not, this dessert happened by accident. Yep, I have a little cake monster running amuck in my home who decided to help themselves to a healthily sized slice of my bundt cake. You can’t very well show off a slightly demolished bundt cake to anyone and not feel a slight ping of embarrassment.

Well, after my annoyance died down, we decided to move forward with the idea of mini trifles for this recipe, and believe it or not, it worked out well, I think. The outcome was a cute little personal dessert ready to be served.

You can’t go wrong with this recipe. The ingredients are simple to find. Using a trusted cake mix by Duncan Hines made it more time-efficient. Do the Bourbon and apples add a fantastic fall flavor and Caramel? Need I even say more?
