• Step 15
  You can add in apple or peach pie filling,between the layers.I cut the fruit up in the pie filling because some brands are too thick.Or you can add fresh sliced apples(2 cups) tossed in cinnamon and brown sugar,or fresh sliced peaches tossed in a little sugar.
• Step 16
  You can use a store bought caramel sauce or make your own, I chop the nuts and toast them to bring out the flavor.
