Steps

1. Prepare the Apple Filling: In a bowl, mix the apple pie filling, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg. Reserve 0.25 cup of apple slices and mash the remaining mixture. Set aside.
2. Prepare the Tiramisu: In a large bowl, place the mascarpone cheese. In another bowl, combine cream, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, salt, and nutmeg. Beat with an electric mixer on medium-low until it starts to thicken, then increase to medium until soft peaks form.
3. Combine Mixtures: Gently whisk a third of the cream mixture into the mascarpone until combined. Fold in the remaining cream mixture in two additions.
4. Layer the Ladyfingers: Pour apple cider into a shallow bowl. Quickly dip each ladyfinger in the cider and arrange 12 in a single layer in an 8-inch square baking dish. Fill gaps with crumbled ladyfingers.
5. Assemble the Layers: Spread half of the mashed apple filling over the ladyfingers. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of caramel sauce. Top with half of the mascarpone mixture. Repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients.
6. Chill: Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to 24 hours.
7. Serve: Before serving, chop the reserved apple slices. Uncover the tiramisu, top with chopped apples, drizzle with caramel sauce, and garnish with pecans if desired.
