Prepare the Custard:
Begin by bringing the milk to a gentle boil in a saucepan. Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low. In a separate bowl, mix the custard powder with a small amount of milk to form a smooth paste, ensuring there are no lumps. Gradually add this mixture to the boiling milk, stirring continuously to incorporate. Add 3 tablespoons of sugar, and keep whisking until the custard thickens. Once thickened, set it aside to cool and then refrigerate while you prepare the other components. -

Caramelize the Apples:
In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat the 1 teaspoon of butter over low heat. Wash and cut the apples into small pieces. Add the apple pieces to the pan along with 2 tablespoons of sugar. Let the apples cook without stirring, allowing the sugar to caramelize and coat them, which will soften the apples. Once the sugar has melted and the apples are tender, remove them from the heat and allow them to cool. -
Layer the Trifle:
To assemble the trifle, take a tall glass or a serving dish and start with a layer of the cooled custard at the bottom. Next, add a layer of sponge cake slices, followed by a layer of the caramelized apples. Repeat the layering process, starting with another layer of custard, followed by sponge cake, and then caramel apples on top. -
Final Touches:
Drizzle some extra caramel sauce over the top of the trifle for added sweetness and decoration. If desired, you can also add a dollop of whipped cream for an indulgent finish. -
Chill and Serve:
Once assembled, refrigerate the trifle for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve it chilled and enjoy the delightful layers of creamy custard, soft sponge cake, and sweet caramelized apples.
