Notes

Make your own caramel sauce at home with my easy 3 ingredient caramel sauce! 
When serving, drizzle extra caramel sauce over each slice. It tastes fantastic when combined with pumpkin. Yum!
Use an offset spatula for spreading the layers and make sure it's clean before starting a new layer.
You can substitute gingersnap cookies for golden Oreos. You can even use graham crackers for more depth of flavor and texture.
Don't hesitate to add candy pumpkins, candy corn, or fall sprinkles on top for a decorative touch.
When laying out the bottom layer, or crust, use a measuring cup or glass cup to firmly press the cookies down to make sure they sit tightly in place.
If you don't have pecans to sprinkle on top, you can use chopped walnuts or crushed cookies of your choice.
