Well, with this recipe it is official autumn for me! Time for apples, nuts, pumpkins, Halloween, long movie nights, rainy walks outside and cold weather. I am not a big fan of this dark and rainy time of the year, therefore I wanted to make the start of this season more easy. And is there anything better than an easy dessert (like this caramel apple cookie crumble lasagne?) together with a hot tea while sitting on your cozy sofa and watch the rain outside?
I have to admit that i love italian food, of course the typical dishes as pizza, pasta and Lasagne, but also the sweet things as ice cream, Tiramisu or Cantuccini. Inspired by italian influences I thought about a dessert which is not that typical in Italy: A sweet Lasagne! The clue of this recipe is that it is based on different layers of apples, cookies, caramel and a smooth cream cheese cream.
You are just a few steps away from the most delicious apple dessert 🙂
CARAMEL APPLE COOKIE CRUMBLE LASAGNE
Soulfood with layers of apples, cookies, caramel and a smooth cream cheese cream

Directions
