Mix wafer crumbs and margarine; press onto bottom of 13x9” pan. Beat cream cheese, splenda and ¼ cup milk with mixer until well blended. Stir in 1 cup cool whip; spread over crust.

Beat pudding mixes and remaining milk with whisk 2 minutes. Stir in ¼ cup caramel topping. Spoon over cream cheese layer; top with remaining cool whip.

Refrigerate 8 hours or until firm. Top with apples, nuts and remaining caramel topping just before serving.

KEEP APPLES FROM TURNING BROWN:
After cutting apples, minimize browning by dipping them in 1 cup water mixed with 1 tablespoon lemon juice before adding to dessert.
