I was trying to work out how to make a delicious treat for the kids that was a little healthier than other treats. I had a can of pie apple, some almonds and ingredients that I have always got in the pantry - and this is what I came up with. I love trifle but I don't like the soggy texture so in my trifle recipe I haven't included jelly. It quickly disappeared before I could get a decent photo of it.
