1. Preheat and Prepare: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F. While the oven warms up, grab a mixing bowl and combine the snickerdoodle cookie mix, softened butter, and egg. Mix until the ingredients are thoroughly blended.

2. Prep the Pan: Take an 8 x 8-inch baking pan and coat it with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Spread half of the prepared cookie dough evenly across the bottom of the pan in small spoonfuls.

3. Layer it Up: Sprinkle half of the included cinnamon sugar packet from the cookie mix over the layer of dough. Then, spread the apple pie filling evenly on top of the cinnamon sugar layer.

4. Top it Off: Drop the remaining cookie dough over the apple pie filling layer in spoonfuls. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar over the top for an extra burst of flavor. Finally, drizzle the luscious caramel topping over the entire dish, adding an irresistible touch of sweetness.

5. Bake to Perfection: Place the assembled cobbler in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is gloriously golden brown and the edges are bubbling with decadence.

6. Serve and Enjoy: Once baked to perfection, allow the Snickerdoodle Cobbler to cool slightly before serving. For an extra indulgent experience, consider topping each serving with an additional drizzle of caramel sauce. Whether enjoyed warm or at room temperature, this delectable dessert is sure to impress.
