Butterscotch Apple Trifle Delight

one of my favorite desserts is Trifle so today was a twist day on the traditional trifle using apples .

For me cooking is about creativity, there is many cookbooks and recipes but I see them as a guide line not as a rule when making something, Imagination and taste are the best tool you can have making food.
