Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked pasta (preferably elbow or small shells)

1 cup apple pie filling (canned or homemade)

1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup cookie crumbs (graham crackers or sugar cookies work well)

½ teaspoon cinnamon

½ teaspoon nutmeg

½ cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)

1 cup whipped cream

2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for sweetening the whipped cream)

Fresh apple slices for garnish

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.

    Prepare the Cookie Crumbs: In a food processor, pulse the graham crackers or sugar cookies until they form fine crumbs. Set aside.

      Make the Whipped Cream: In a mixing bowl, combine the whipped cream and powdered sugar. Beat until soft peaks form. Set aside in the refrigerator.

        Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, gently fold together the cooked pasta, apple pie filling, cinnamon, nutmeg, and half of the caramel sauce. Mix until everything is evenly coated.

          Layer the Delight: In serving bowls or a large dish, start by adding a layer of the caramel apple pasta mixture. Sprinkle a layer of cookie crumbs on top, followed by some chopped nuts. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, ensuring the final layer is cookie crumbs.

            Top it Off: Finish the dish by drizzling with the remaining caramel sauce and topping with a generous dollop of whipped cream. Garnish with fresh apple slices for an added touch.

              Serve: Chill in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve cold and enjoy your unique dessert!
