How to Make Apple And Gingerbread Trifle

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, and allspice.
3. In a separate bowl, cream together softened butter and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4. In a third bowl, whisk together molasses and 1/2 cup of unsulphured molasses.
5. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the creamed butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
6. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Let the gingerbread cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. While the gingerbread cools, prepare the applesauce: In a medium saucepan, combine diced apples, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup water.
10. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, cover, and cook for 5 minutes.
11. Remove the lid and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the apples are tender and the sauce has thickened (about 10-15 minutes).
12. In a chilled bowl, beat heavy cream and powdered sugar with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
13. To assemble the trifle, slice the cooled gingerbread into pieces. Layer gingerbread, applesauce, and whipped cream in a trifle bowl or large serving bowl, repeating the layers until the bowl is full.
14. Top with toasted nuts.
15. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
