Step 1

Core and chop apples into 1-inch size pieces. Place apples into a small saucepan and toss with the flour, sugar, and spices. Add the lemon juice and syrup and toss again. Place over medium high heat and cook, stirring from time to time until apples are bubbling and have softened (about 18 minutes).

Step 2

Remove from pan and place into the refrigerator for 10 minutes while preparing the next mixtures.

Step 3

In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese, sugars, vanilla, and cinnamon. With the machine running, beat in the whipping cream for 2 minutes. Stir in the caramel sauce and set aside.

Step 4

In a 9x13-inch serving dish, place a layer of vanilla wafer cookies, breaking a few as necessary to completely cover the entire bottom of the dish. Spoon one-third of the cream cheese mixture on top and smooth to cover completely. Top with one-third of the apple mixture, distributing evenly. Repeat this layering. Add whipped topping. Spread Evenly.

Step 5

Drizzle the caramel sauce over the top and sprinkle with the pecans. Cover lightly with plastic wrap and set in the refrigerator for 8 hours or more so that the mixtures soften the graham crackers. Serve while cold.
