Spread half of the chopped apple filling evenly over the graham crackers, then spoon half of the pudding mixture on top, smoothing it evenly with a spoon or offset spatula.

Place another layer of graham crackers over the pudding and apple layers, fitting pieces as necessary.

Repeat spreading the remaining apple filling and pudding mixture over the second graham cracker layer.

Add a final layer of graham crackers and spread the caramel sundae topping evenly across the surface.

Cover the dish loosely and refrigerate for 4 hours to allow the layers to set. Slice into 15 pieces (3 by 5) before serving. Keep leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
