Tip
To make this step easier, break up the dough into large chunks and then flatten each piece with a floured rolling pin. Add the pieces to the pizza pan and then press them together with your fingers.

Let it cool for about 1 hour.

In a bowl, combine the cream cheese frosting and 1/4 cup caramel sauce. Taste it and add more caramel sauce if you'd like.
Step 4
Spread the frosting onto the cooled cookie.
Step 5
Top with apple pie filling and chopped walnuts.
