How to copy a folder x number of times in PowerShell?

Question

I have a this little script that just copies a folder right now:

$NumberOfProfiles = Read-Host "Enter the number of Portable Firefox profiles You need:"
$WhereToWrite = $Source 
$Source = Get-Location 
$FolderName = "Apple"
$SourceDirectory = "$Source\$Foldername\*"
Copy-Item $SourceDirectory $WhereToWrite -Recurse

But I'd need it to copy x times that is defined in $NumberOfProfiles with Read-Host . Also, for some reason it just copies the content of the folder itself but not the main folder.

Big thanks if anybody could lend a noobie a helping hand.

Somnething like this would get you the apple1,apple2...Applel0

$NumberOfProfiles = Read-Host "Enter the number of Portable Firefox profiles You need:"
$Source = "C:\source\"
$WhereToWrite = "C:\Dest\Apple"
for($i=1;$i -le $NumberOfProfiles;$i++){
$dest = "$WhereToWrite$i"
Copy-Item $Source $dest -Recurse
}
