Please suggest an easy seasonal desert

You can make individual trifles with the fruit you like
like strawberries with brandy,caramelized apples or bananas and
so on.
I always get pound cake from the super market plain or chocolate.I love to have it available.
Get a nice fancy glass and start layering.
Begin with pieces of pound cake,sprinkle a little liqueur of your choice add whip cream and continue with a generous portion of fruit.
Add a dollop of whip cream decorate with some crushed nuts and you have a delightful desert with the minimum effort.

To caramelize apples:In a heavy skillet add 2 tbsp butter and 2 apples,golden delicious my favourites peeled and sliced.
Saute for 2-3 minutes add 3 tbsp sugar continue until sugar dissolves and deglaze with a little brandy,ready to use.

For the strawberries wash them and slice them add sugar and a little brandy mix well and refrigerate for 1 hour so the flavors can come together
.Bananas can get the same treatment as the apples

Amazing flavors and a fantastic presentation !
